Rosé - Sparkling
N.V. Larmandier-Bernier Champagne Premier Cru Rosé de Saignée Extra Brut
Creamy raspberry but with some funk and a lot of tannins. Very wine-like and does not have the champagne-feel despite the bubbles.
Slightly bitter on the aftertaste and overall it lacks a bit of excitement/energy. Deg13.

Lots of initial lemon fruit with a touch of exotic notes at the end, lychee and peach. It feels a bit green and has a lovely and intense acidity.
Quite floral and some tannins coming through the aftertaste. Lovely and delicious wine.

Lovely and intensely perfumed nose. Packed with rose petals and blueberry mixed with a huge acidity. Very intense and with some tar in the aftertaste.
Still very young and has some sweet tobacco and herbal notes to it. Lovely.

Creamy and broad sweet red apple flavors. Tastes like sweet merinque and red apples with a good structure. Lovely but clearly a "house"-champagne with a good amount of dosage.

Green apples and a harsh but fresh acidity profile. Complex and delicious but also still very young.
Grapefruit bitterness in the aftertaste. Great wine that needs time to develop.

2016 Fonseca Porto Vintage
97 points
Very young and juicy blackberry fruit. Packed with vanilla and black pepper. The fruit is dense and overpowering but still with a huge acidity.
Despite being packed with tannins, the wine is very drinkable and can be enjoyed. A huge wine with a solid potential.
