1998 Highfield Estate Elstree Cuvée BrutMarlborough Champagne Blend more |
9/27/2007 - nietzschephilosopher wrote: 82 pointsI've never had anything like this before, a vintage almost 10 year old sparkler, and it's my guess that there's a reason this one was heavly discounted at the local market. There is so much wood on the pallet that's almost all you can taste. There is some nice acidity, but not enough fruit to make it worth even the low price I paid for this interesting but disappointing wine. |

9/18/2021 - murphsmurf Does not like this wine: NRUnfortunately this has gone sour and didn’t age for 10 years. It was a lovely drop when I purchased it but I kept it too long. Sour and unpalatable |

4/9/2011 - graemeg wrote: NR2011 Sydney International Wine Show - Top 100 tasting (Menzies Hotel, Sydney): {screwcap, 14.5%} Intense and jammy red-fruited nose. Despite the alcohol, the palate has some lightness to it, but the flavours are all very one-dimensional at the moment. Does finish dry and savoury, but sits too much on the front palate to be more than a short-term wine. |

3/7/2015 - sp4388 Likes this wine: 90 pointsIt's definitely on the bigger, more syrupy side of pinot, but unlike some of its 14%+ california counterparts, it actually still tastes like pinot, which is cool. Much bigger in the mouth than on the nose. Syrupy cherry cola and raspberry nice acidity, nice spice, killer QPR for the $13 that bestwinesonline was selling it for |

3/19/2018 - TashNYC wrote: 90 pointsStrawberries, cherries and raspberries. Paired best with the seared tuna (from Thailand), where it added earth and herbs to the mix. Gentle tannins throughout/ Also good with the tuna sashimi and not bad with the Atlantic salmon (sashimi and grilled salmon). At the end, I had it with a bite of the DiGiornio's pizza (with pork sausage and fennel, pepperoni and Genoa salami), which added spice to the mix. About 88 points on its own and 91 points with the better pairings (the seared tuna and the pizza with the Italian pork sausage and fennel). |

1/31/2011 - TheBusiness724 wrote: 87 pointsDark ruby color with an expressive, fruity nose of ripe, candied black cherry. The palate was heavy for a pinot, and sweeter than I prefer, but still accessible, fruit-forward and ripe, without any obvious flaws, which made a glass or two pretty easy drinking. Lacks the elegance I typically look for in better Pinot, but not a bad value for what it is supposed to be. |

Fuller bodied than most Pinots with a sweetish, pleasant finish. Unexpected flavor profile and very easy drinking. Would certainly drink again. 90 / 91 points. |
