Deliciously fruity taste of red raspberry along with cherry and blackberry. Much liked by all 4 adults at a dinner of baby back ribs, mashed potatoes, and fried plantain. Very smoothly integrates 7% alcohol, fruitiness, and tasty sugar.

I have the honor of being able to review the 1998 as oldest vintage of this Champagne in Cellar Tracker, that I personally bought and stored for 23 years. Somewhat amazingly, this old codger tastes remarkably close to what the younger reviewers found and admired. A very tingly, tangy, powerful, vigorous, lemon-lime and mouth scrubbing Chardonnay, fully capable of taking on and washing aside even a bloody and fatty steak.

In tastings of the A.P. Vin portfolio of Pinot Noirs, the Kanzler Vineyard has consistently been the outstanding wine. And this 2012 has improved significantly from 9 years of storage. Opaque black in color. A fuller bodied wine than most Pinot Noirs. Smoothly textured with a tannic undertow. Strongly fruity from smell to swallow, including black cherry, blackberry, and black currant. Excellent with a wide variety of foods, including meat balls, snails, and asparagus soup.
