Blanc de Blancs
#3712/7870
nose - honey, peach
mouth -fleshy peach, superbly fresh, long vinous finish with notes of marzipan. really liked this

nose - wax, pit fruit
mouth - chalky and minerally, initially somewhat restrained pit fruit with hints of iodine, over the night continued to unwind and improve.

nose -smoke
mouth - rich custards/smoky attack which morphs into an elegant even sleek midpalate and long lemon rind finish. An interesting chameleon

nose - salt plum, savory, slightly sweaty sock
mouth - earthy, complex, dark fruit. after 15 minutes in the glass this was absolutely singing revealing waves of dark fruit with a rich mature quality to it. notes of plum leather, asian spice, balsamic vinegar, and burnt sugar all appreciated. hoping for a last glimpse at the end of the evening, it was not to be, as everyone had finished their glass to the last drop. Many thanks to PB for this grand wine.

nose - cranberry
mouth - powerful. tightly wrapped red licorice, long and muscular. overall assessed to be shut down. Shows promise. Hold

nose - raspberry, cherry
mouth - lively, sexy spiced fruit, exhilarating and clean. Brian sensed a peppery quality. velvet mouthfeel. quite a polished feminine wine though made it a rather new world style. However, I dont see this acquiring much complexity

Thanks to big Mike for bringing this out. Purchased on release. Good god, in the early 90s the only think i was purchasing was binders and loose-leaf paper.

nose -savory, sois-bois, perfumed, wet hay, olive, sexy and very fragrant nose
mouth - nicely integrated, very pure and still very fresh melange of red and dark fruits. absolutely classic. drink now or hold.

nose - exotic red berry. almost reminiscent of a body lotion. tad minty. whoa aromatic.
mouth - fruit bomb. superbly pure fresh crushed berry. Something you might spread over buttered toast. confected.

nose-slight rubber tire
mouth - fresh, lively, cherries, cranberries, charming

nose - chestnut, cherry
mouth - delicious and well balanced, sour cherries, plum
