  High end Champagne 2012 vs 2013, tasted blind (Bad Ragaz): 7g dosage, medium yellow, Ripe nose of yellow fruit and apple, extensive cinnamon and oak spices. Rich, with enough freshness on the finish.

  Pale straw colored, nose immediately apparent right out of the bottle. Rich on the palate: brioche, pie crust, yeast, sherry, even a hint of grapefruit? Fine acidity and real structure here. Slow ox over two hours, developing the whole time and kept improving the whole time. Lovely bottle, enjoyable now, but my guess is that it will improve with time. Given the structure this is a wine I'd want to pair with food.

  An intense nose including lemon white blossom and a touch of marzipan. Lemon and apple on palate with excellent concentration and a nice saline element.
  
  This was certainly very good but I wouldn't call it "great" - I rated the 2012 Comtes and particularly 2012 Dom Perignon significantly higher. Also paled somewhat in comparison to the other wines enjoyed on this particularly special evening...
  
  A bottle from the BB&R Family Reserves

  A beautiful wine in the making - this was our New Years Eve dinner wine. Lots of dark yellow dried fruits - good body but not that heavy. Also a little more austere than I had expected. I’m guessing this will resolve with more age. I will try to get some more if the price is right
