After the big assertive new world cabernets, this seemed quite restrained, some earthiness on the nose, possibly TCA, tannic, fine fruit - this probably sufferered from being served in such big company
Judging by the others' unfinished glasses, I enjoyed this a lot more than they did. Deep brown gold, and going over, but still had lots of mellow caramel fruit.

France, Champagne
Cheesy nose, but much fresher on the palate, full, rich, creamy and powerful, gained energy as it warmed up and ended up really vibrant

Edgy entry, a blast of fresh earthy fruit, very mineral, amazing vigour - tongue tinglingly exciting
