I just had my last 1997 Dominus of three magnums and it dried a little bit with decanting and time in the glass. I'd pop and pour and then decide whether to decant. Just my opinion.

My irony-meter is in the shop right now so I can't tell if you're joking or not. (I suspect you are.) But if it was a serious question, no special occasion.

1987 Dominus - Going to enjoy this tomorrow night with my son and his fiancee at Kiki's Bistro in Chicago
Kiki's brings back fond (and fuzzy) memories.
I must try this Kiki's place of which you all speak. I think it may be a possibility for a future xhoser visit.

Many many visits to KiKi's and all seem fuzzy.

No '59 Bdx last night but Kiki's was superb as usual. The '87 Dominus was still very young in my opinion. With air in the glass it opened up but I wish I could have decanted for 5-6 hours.

Agreed. If this one shows as well as the last I'll be pleased, to say the least.

I've had this from several vintages and enjoyed them very much, though I haven't had the 2001. Mongeard-Mugneret is a favorite of mine. We visited there 2 years ago, and their entire is very good to outstanding.
I am looking forward to trying it. I actually just back filled some of this for the 2005 vintage for down the road. I haven't seen any notes on the 2001 on CT for a while, so I'll try to post a detailed note.
I've been buying their Grands Echezeaux too. One of the better "bargains" from that cru.

Their 2007 Echezeaux and Grands Echezeaux are outstanding! Id bet the 2005s are also. I'll be interested to read your opinion of the 2001.

Yes, you're right. I went to check that I had all standing after I posted that and thought I was missing one, then remembered you are standing the 01, forgot to change the post.

Do you frequent Ellicottville? I spent a weekend there (one of the ski hills was trying to recruit me for instructing). Since getting more into wine than skiing another trip (and bringing some wine back) has appeal. A side trip to Century in Rochester and a visit with Sherwood Deutsch also appeals.

We'll talk tonight but short answer, before the baby yes, now no.
I was an agent for Hollimont (the private hill) for a number of years and skied there from the early 90's on instead of up north. MUCH better IMHO.
