Written Notes

We were quickly back on track with a 1953 Philipponat Clos des Goisses, a magnum that was recently disgorged and came directly from the cellars of Philipponat. This was the bottle that took three swipes. It came across vigorously youthful at first, but still had gamy flavors of earth and white brick once it unwound a bit. White mocha, espresso bean and duck wonton flavors joined the party in this increasingly complex magnum, which became a bit Montrachet-like over time

Clos des Goisses 1953 magnum: One of the very last magnums left in the world. Naturally direct from the estate, and disgorged two months prior to the tasting in question. I was instantly faced with a unique and fascinating aromatic spectrum stretching between extremes such as cedar, resin, eucalyptus, grass, grilled meat, gooseberry and gunpowder! After a while in the glass all three wines from the 1950s came to resemble one another with a fabulous, euphorically perfumed bouquet bordering on passion fruit. This is definitely the richest and most flattering of the unbeatable trio. 98 points
