Oak, oak, oak all the way. Somewhat past its peak.

Nice quaffer. Delicate mousse, slightly on the sweet side. Great QPR.

A crowd pleaser. Drinking excellent right now, will probably not benefit much from further cellaring.

Big bold and fruity. Tannins have become nicely integrated, at it's peak.

Fairely pleasant Pouilly-Fume. Nice structure and balance, and decent length. Paired surprisingly well with salmon sashimi.

Fair Valpolicella. Food friendly, went well to both chicken and grilled red meat.

Way better than the previous bottles. Distinct Pinot fruit, but not a quality wine.

Slightly over the top. Drink up!

From magnum. Exciting.

From magnum. Decanted for an hour. Rich with red fruits, pepper, earthy tones. Good body and nicely integrated tannins. Very good.

From magnum. This was slightly more impressive than Pur Sang. Really excellent, and white wine I won't forget. The magnum dissapeared alarmingly fast...

From magnum. My first Dagueneau. Fantastic SB, complex and mouth watering.

Quite subdued nose. Big and bold on the palate with tropical fruits. Lacking acidity. Oak on the nose and palate, too oaky for my taste.

Plain, boring, lacking acidity. Not a good representative of Chablis.

1/31/2011 - arijus wrote:

Surprisingly good from a presumed low-level producer. Only slight notes of the typical 2004 green, which I find unpleasant. Nice pinot boquet and finely interated tannins.

Had with scampi pasta. Paired nice with the food. Good freshness and acidity. Tropical fruit. Pleasantly surprised with this one.

My last bottle. Definately over the top. Quite flat, and not very interesting. Drink up!

2/19/2011 - arijus wrote:

Nice bubbly. Good mousse, kind of short. Nice enough.

2/16/2011 - arijus wrote:

This was way better than my previous bottle! Browning rim. Silky and smooth with nice garrigue. Still some tannins left. Very good wine that is definately on top now.

2/2/2011 - arijus wrote:

Nice pure Pinot fruit on the nose, cherry and strawberry. Silky and smooth on the palate. Sligthly green, but on the pleasant side. Good acidity. The best PN I have tasted from Chile so far.

Not my cup of tea. Get's better after a week, but too hot and artificial. Will never buy again.

Always a pleasure to drink. Straightforward and reliable champagne.

Not overly impressed with this one. A bit flat and dull. Could be a slightly off bottle. Two more bottles to go..

Apples and minerals on the nose. Powerfull mousse, a bit too much. Young and fresh on the palate with good acidity. Good value, but should be cellared for a year for increased complexity.

5/29/2010 - arijus wrote:

Medium to deep golden color. Petro on the nose. Slightly oily in the mouth with a pleasant sweetness. Low in acidity. Long finish. Nicely developed auslese that can easily last for many years. Surprisingly good!

This was not a very good bottle. Drinkable, but slightly cooked fruit.

Had with Pasta Arrabiata. Sour cherry and hint of muskiness on the nose. Don't think this bottle was 100%. No tannins to speak of. Medium bodied. Still didn't impress. Went well with the pasta though.

Decent champagne, but doesn't stand out in any way. There are better alternatives.

Very light straw color. Subdued nose. Weak on the palate, mainly tropical fruits. Lacking acidity. Below average.

11/10/2008 - arijus wrote:

Dark berries, smoke and leather on the nose. Soft and fruity palate, very "fresh and friendly". Not very structured. No signs of oak. Very simple, tastes almost like fruit juice...

2/14/2009 - arijus wrote:

Consistent with prior note, however I didn't feel that much enthusiasm this time around. Very good QPR though, and will probably get more of these.

11/10/2008 - arijus wrote:

The nose reminds me of pinot noir, sweet and sour cherries and forest floor. Good grip and acidity, and well structured. Hints of licorice on the palate and some slightly cooked fruit. Very nice! Stands out compared to the other CDR and Crozes at this tasting.

Very fruity, straightforward nose. Slightly spicy and simple. Simple on the palate as well. A very fruity daily drinker at a nice price.

11/10/2008 - arijus wrote:

Nutty, vanilla, noticeable marsanne nose. Also elements of honey and beewax. Rich and full bodied on the palate, slightly oily feeling. Slightly lacking in acidity. Will go well with white meat, hearthy fish with sauce and risottos.

Quite powerfull nose of apricot, flowers and white peaches. Fruity and fresh, although not very complex. Good QPR.

Delicious wine, and a steal at the price. Rich, with honey, apple and pears on the nose. Good mouthfeel.

8/9/2008 - arijus wrote:

Lime on the nose with hints of minerals. The minerality really shows on the palate. Good acidity and wonderful apple flavours. Nice wine.

8/18/2008 - arijus wrote:

Loads and loads of apricot and grapefruit. Big and oaky. Far from the level of the excellent 2005.

Disappointing bottle. Came off as highly acidic and lacking in fruit compared to the Ramos Pinto Duas Quintas.

Drinking very well now! Very round and smooth with loads of red berries on the nose and palate. Nicely integrated tannins. Somewhat simple and one-dimensional, but very pleasureable.
