Tasting Some Bubbles with Brian Solis, Episode #838 (3/26/2010)
W_French Brut non-vintage. #3; VaynerPAZZZ; COLOR-golden; NOSE-baked apple; Asian pear on the back-end; a little dust and clove; extremely fresh and vibrant; PALATE-not too dry; some fruit upfront, but then the fruit (pear and cinnamon apple sauce) really intensifies greatly and attacks on the mid-palate, but then if fades off with a little cinnamon toast crunch on the back-end that I like quite a bit; but it falls off the cliff at the very end; fresh and solid, but falls a little short; WS-91; GV-87+ 87+ points |

W_French Brut non-vintage. #1; COLOR-golden; NOSE-cantaloupe with a little ace bandage component; PALATE-quite mouthcoating and viscous; great acidity on the back-end; extremely interesting; the finish is very aggressive and powerful; Acacia flower up front; a hint of ginger on the mid-palate and then finishes with some vanilla on the back end; I like this; fantastic bottle of Champagne; WS-93; GV-91+ 91+ points |

W_French Brut non-vintage. #4; VaynerPAZZZ; COLOR-golden; NOSE-tire skid aspect; also an aggressive lemon peel citrus play; PALATE-this is quite dead from the beginning; quite unacceptable; shockingly thin and almost tastes like seltzer with a little lemon and old piece of bread; a disaster; WS-92; GV-67 67 points |

W_French Brut non-vintage. #2; COLOR-golden; NOSE-tight; little hint of smokiness, but not much more; PALATE-this is intriguing; comes across as complex and classy; a little young right now; I get clove; some floral and mineral aspects; feel like I ate a crushed rock and oyster sea shell salad; also some banana skin on the back-end; seems very complex, but feels like it hasn't fully opened yet; this is a little awkward right now, but I believe has some long term potential; WS-91; GV-89/91 (89-91) points |
