  Coronation party. Nose is quite advanced, bruised apples, some asparagus. Palate is really great. Rich and lush, nutty, great QPR. 93+

  Celebrating at the Marine Room (Marine Room Restaurant, La Jolla, CA): Sourced from 100% Grand Cru Vineyards in Bouzy, the 2006 Paul Bara Brut Millésimé is a blend of 90% Pinot Noir and 10% Chardonnay, disgorged March 2015. Light golden in color and with a brisk tiny bead, it delivers an attractive aromatic profile of stone fruits, citrus, toasted almonds and cardamom. Medium-bodied and with flavors mirroring the nose, it retains a creamy yet vibrant mouthfeel that is pervasive throughout the mid-palate and lengthy finish. Well-cellared bottles of this delicious vintage Champagne have lots of life ahead! Drink now-2026.

  Lighter pale golden color. Open and slightly developped notes of baked apples, ripe pear, brioche, some chalky minerality, honey, nuts, also some white blossoms as well as some small red berries. Pretty full-bodied and powerful, with medium-high acidity and creamy mousse, but all beautifully balanced by the freshness. Good length. A very good Champagne from this under the radar producer and a spectacular value.

  Evanescent bubbles. Honeyed nose. Full bodied, excellent black fruit with a bit of mushroom, minimal dosage, strongly mineral back end. Excellent Champagne with early secondary development.

  Provad helblint.
  
  Ljusast i färgen i flighten. Åt råg-toner. Ganska många små bubblor.
  
  Mindre doft men på min näsa väldigt tydligt åt lakto-hållet. Behöver luft, timid citron.
  
  Smakar solsken, mkt syra, annanas och gröna äpplen med grillad citron på slutet. Oförlöst. Behöver ett tag till på rygg.
