2008 Louis Roederer Champagne Cristal Brut
1/1/2024 - zanksta Likes this wine:
‘Wow’ stuff. So glad this bottle delivered the goods.
The fruit is gorgeous and varied: citrus, fleshy tree fruits. At the same time bread and toast weave in and out.
I’m not any kind of champagne expert but this is far and away the best pour of the stuff I’ve experienced.

2006 Dom Pérignon Champagne

This was the third and probably best bottle of 06 Dom from the cellar. Graceful, fruity, yeasty. Very good champagne.

2010 Chappellet Cabernet Sauvignon Signature
12/25/2023 - zanksta Likes this wine:
From magnum, opened a couple hours beforehand without decant.
Beautiful nose, deep and full of fruit hinting at the darker stuff within. Very well-balanced and not monstrously complex but has both sides on the coin: pure fruit vs savory secondary elements.
Very nice. Curious to see how the remnant of this bottle plays in a few days.
