Pinot Noir from Montagne de Reims, Chardonnay from Cotes des Blancs, 12%, sampled from magnum The wine shows freshness, ripe citrus, tense, yeast, broad, welcoming, glazed almond, dried citrus, stone fruit. Palate is juicy, citrus notes, peach, apricot, nice carbonation, tense, juicy, long finish
Vibrant, bright, citrus, lime, grapefruit, a touch flint, gorgeous Palate is juicy, tensity, minerally driven, high but balanced acidity, line, stone fruit, apricot, med body, long (dare I say with mastic notes) finish Outstanding quality with long life ahead
USA, California, Central Coast, Santa Barbara County
Open 14.00 tasted 16.50, sampled from magnum, no decant Massive and bold, fruit forward, black fruit, ripe, weirdly its also subtle, fine oak frame, black spice, juicy, fresh Palate following the same flavor profile, hot (15.20% but with time and when drank cooler it was alright), licorice, black fruit, fruit in alcohol, whole spice, sweet spice, full body, long finish
A touch muted in the nose at this point but very expressive in the palate, high acidity, brine, mineral, citrus, tense, roasted almond, angry still, full body, long finish. Needs time and air
