My favorite wine I've had this year. Such a joyous wine, like a sun beam through the window warming up your face. Very generous bright fruit with beautiful texture and finish.

Baked apple with lees quality. Fairly concentrated flavors and a very persistent finish. Not my preferred style of Champagne but it was really good if you enjoy this style.

Beautiful balance of yellow bright fruit with brioche. The wonderful mousse of bubbles and finish is also a highlight.

How long do you think the wine will hold up? 36 bottles is quite a few to get through for me �� Hmmm... good question. Usually reserve select aged bottles of wine of either cab or merlot will attribute to the mouthfeel. It gives it that round feeling. I would guess most of the plumb would be coming from the merlot and dark fruit from the cab like blackberries. I think the wine should be drunk from now til the end of the next 2 years. Another year and a half to get rid of some of that lingering tartness. Pretty stable wine and as a weekly drinker it should last awhile. These 3 cases should last me quite a long time as I will pick up other stuff along the way. Savory foods with this wine will knock people off their socks.. lasagna and beef wellington comes to mind. Cheese Ravioli! Have you had this wine yet? thoughts?
