Grabbed one of these to see whether I would enjoy Roederer wines. I do not. This wine, although young, is much too sweet for a Brut. I suspect improper dosage as the sugar was not fully fermented.
A really outstanding wine. Perfectly balanced with light white fruits, slate, and a touch of sweetness. The acidity is just at the right level to complete this wine.
A tremendous wine that performed like the last bottle promised but fell short of. This bottle had mild sweetness combined with white fruits, especially apricot and a pleasantly long finish.
Blind, I would have guessed Bordeaux. This is a really interesting Malbec that shows what the grape can be. Dark red fruits and some oak influence. Drink or hold.
This bottle was leaking after shipping so it was the first to be opened. Honey, apricot, peach and botrytis play well together. I'm looking forward to the pristine bottles...
A really impressive wine that suffered only from being at the end of a long evening. Still, this demanded my attention. Honey and flowers with significant sweetness that was well balanced by serious acidity.
