On the Nose you get what 10years on Lee's will give you Rich Nuts, Hazelnut, opening up with Coffee/Mocha/Toffee Nut On to the Palate, Creamy, Tangy, Nuts, Warm fruit with a nice backbone of bitterness Finish is Long and Delicate and Understated
Conc: This wine has aged notes which are awesome to smell on the palate I found it to be underwhelming then knowing who this is and what it costs I just dont see the value [At the end of the day how much of this is Marketing and Name, that being Said My type of Champagnes are Farmer Fizzez]
"Ain't No Party Like a Dhondt Party" Pretty Floral Note, Good Solid Champagne and ENjoyable, my only knock against it would be the fact the dosage comes across a touch to sweet to make it perfectly balanced
Excellent Bubbles, and yet so different, it is one of those Bubbles that truly could be served as a wine, decant it remove the bubbles and this would taste just as good, It has that fleshy fruit I find from Pinot Meunier Plums.
Conc: Paired beautifully with the duck, and I would buy this again and drink again for sure. Also Malo was blocked and its creamy rich fleshy
This is a big rich style Rose, More Cherry fruit can see it not being everyones favorite but its pretty full body for a champagne goes and nice red fruit
