2007 Bollinger Champagne La Grande AnnéeChampagne Blend more |
10/30/2018 - wineduggery Likes this wine: 94 pointsHas a balance and depth of flavor that is unusual. Very complex and delicious. One of the best Champagne bottles I’ve had. |

2008 Marie-Noëlle Ledru Champagne Grand Cru Brut NatureChampagne Blend more |
8/3/2018 - wineduggery Does not like this wine: 89 pointsDisappointing. 85% Pinot Noir. Drinks like a blanc de noir. Heavy with thick bubbles. |

2006 Veuve Clicquot Champagne Brut La Grande DameChampagne Blend more |
6/17/2018 - wineduggery Likes this wine: 92 pointsA beautiful bottle. Green apple, yeast, and caramel. Semi-fine mousse. Better after being open for an hour. |

2010 Poderi Luigi Einaudi Barolo TerloNebbiolo more |
6/10/2018 - wineduggery Likes this wine: 92 pointsYoung, but still expressive of those classic Barolo flavors, especially tar and licorice. Set it down for another 10 years if you can. |

2008 Perrier-Jouët Champagne Belle EpoqueChampagne Blend more |
6/9/2018 - wineduggery Likes this wine: 93 pointsComes together beautifully, as there is a deliciousness factor here that is often missing from less complex Champagnes. Chardonnay predominates, but there is a nice balance here. Worth every penny. |

NV Jacques Selosse V.O. Blanc de Blancs Extra BrutChampagne Grand Cru Chardonnay more |
6/9/2018 - wineduggery Does not like this wine: NRDisgorged 11/16. Disappointing. Brioche dominates along with caramel. No discernible fruit. Tastes like a long-aged Champagne. |

2017 Matthiasson RoséNapa Valley Rosé Blend more |
6/8/2018 - wineduggery wrote: 87 pointsA weak year for this wine. Has the characteristic salty minerality, but the fruit lacks the usual CA punch. Tastes more like Provence this year. |

2006 Taittinger Champagne Comtes de Champagne Blanc de Blancs BrutChardonnay more |
6/3/2018 - wineduggery wrote: 92 pointsLemon, green apple, and brioche with a fine mousse. Seemed a bit flat and lacking in depth even after being open for an hour. Not what I’m used to with this producer, but the bottle did not appear to be flawed. Could be the Cristal effect. |

2006 Louis Roederer Champagne Cristal BrutChampagne Blend more |
5/22/2018 - wineduggery Likes this wine: 93 pointsNeeds an hour to open up, and shows best at a moderate temperature. I prefer the flavor profile of the 09 Cristal, but this is still delightful. |

2006 Philipponnat Champagne Brut Clos des GoissesChampagne Blend more |
5/12/2018 - wineduggery wrote: 92 pointsBrioche dominates the flavor profile. Very smooth, nice mouth feel, fine mousse. Too simple for the price. Not enough fruit to balance the yeast. |
| White - Sparkling |
2009 Louis Roederer Champagne Cristal BrutChampagne Blend more |
4/30/2018 - wineduggery Likes this wine: 94 pointsDelicious and approachable are good overall descriptors from Charlie. The fruit is complex with citrus and red fruits present, which is different from the apple/pear profiles of most Champagnes. Nice acidity and a medium long finish with brioche dominating. Just wonderful. Probably my favorite overall Champagne producer. |

2004 Pol Roger Champagne Cuvée Sir Winston ChurchillChampagne Blend more |
4/2/2018 - wineduggery Likes this wine: 93 pointsApple and brioche dominate the flavor profile. Nice weight and balance. Needs an hour of air to show well. Serious stuff. |

1997 Castello Banfi Brunello di Montalcino Riserva Poggio All'OroSangiovese more |
3/31/2018 - wineduggery wrote: 91 pointsVery elegant. Still very young, but I know this wine was well taken care of during cellaring. Clear ruby with no discernible bricking, which was surprising. I think this wine was heavily filtered, which removed some of the essential brunello character. |

2006 Valdicava Brunello di Montalcino Riserva Madonna del PianoSangiovese more |
3/29/2018 - wineduggery Likes this wine: 94 pointsBill nailed the taste profile. Just wonderful. Decant for an hour before drinking, as this takes a bit to open up. |
