Nose: Ripe apples, toast. Mouth: Round, slightly bitter, slighty sugar/geast. Well blanced. Slightly sweat candy/apple aftertaste. Easy likable and well made Champagne, but no personality, complexity or intreresting structures. A bit to nice?
Nose: Mineral, bitter, apple, sour swinesteak, lots of toast. Mouth: Young, complex, rockandroll taste structure. Some citrus. Closed, will develop over time. Could become a great wine, but enjoyable now.
Nose: Underlying smell of wild sweet strawberries. Mouth: Balanced bitterness/acidity, moderate taste of cooked strawberries, smoke, coffee and some spices from the integrated oak. Would prefer the standard Champagne Grand Vintage compared to the Rosè.
Nose: Oysters, candy, slightly mineral, apple closed. Mouth: Fresh bread out of the oven, slightly bitter, firm, slim and clear structure with hints of apple and apricot. Fantastic bubbles small and many that grow in the mouth. Can drink now but will develop. Keep.
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Echezeaux Grand Cru
Opened this matured red Burgundy after the Champagnes were tasted. Frank bought this one at an auction in Munchen.
Nose: Leather, a lot of forrest, smoke, dried cherries and balanced sweetness. Mouth: Cherries, slightly acid and bitternes balanced, smoke, grumsy, wide and some spices (cummin). Complex, interesting, still very drinkable but not a great wine.
