  • 2001 Philipponnat Champagne Brut Clos des Goisses 87 Points

    France, Champagne

    Pale to mid straw. Slightly soapy, sweaty nose. Nicely rounded and quite interesting on the attack. Seems a little jittery at the moment. Quite light and showing the CO2 through the mid-palate. Needs a while. Not quite sure about this. Quite mineral with a nice line, but really quite light - needs to put on some weight and gain complexity. *(**)

  • 2002 Domaine Huet Vouvray Moelleux Clos du Bourg 85 Points

    France, Loire Valley, Touraine, Vouvray

    Mid to full straw. Slightly medicinal nose. Initially this seems quite ripe but actually it's not particularly sweet. Quite acidic too. Infact this seems out of kilter. Maybe too late in the evening but this doesn't do it for me. **1/2
