A good champagne. Drank kind of… young? Balanced but not graceful, hefty but a little too eager. All of the flavor was BOOM, right up front, and it was more green apple rind than anything. Good - maybe not my thing. — 3 years ago

I had a fruity to oak/earthy experience. Fruit up front Oak to Earth on the finish.
$10.+ at Costco.
Went well with my steak-filled salad...as well as with my chocolate-covered walnuts afterwards. — 4 years ago

This could easily be the WOTN on any other evening, but there were so many great wines on the table to contend for the title. To be frank, I'm sure everyone had a different favourite during the night. The 96' Saumagen for me was a serious runner-up.

I couldn't even tell it was a KR in the blind. The bouquet was so atypically floral and lacking in that KR "dirt" that I was totally thrown off. It was so fresh, even more so than the 04' medley that preceded, that it would have been impossible for me to have called it a 96'. Great texture and structure. Serious concentration of fruits and herbs. Mandarin, kiwi, preserved lemon, chrysanthemum, smoke, cream, fresh cut herbs. Finished painfully saline, supported by laser sharp acidity. Fantastic stuff. Still a baby after 23 years in bottle. — 5 years ago

One of the greatest wines I’ve had the privilege of tasting. Cab franc is a favorite of mine and to enjoy a top shelf to CF in the world is a treat...not much green pepper, more beef jerky and soy sauce than vegetal notes. Powerful even after hours of being open. Worthy of smelling for days (violet, dusted blackberries). What a pull from @Mark Flesher ! I just had to feel like a part of the WNH tonight after I saw their wines last night! @Martin G Rivard @Bill Bender @Shawn R @David L — 6 years ago

Gorgeous silky floral aromatics with a bit of body sweat coming through. Sexy jasmine and vanilla notes from a small part in barrique. Like a Viognier cream soda. Appealing breadth and mouthfeel. Yum. — 7 years ago

Fantastic and easy to drink red wine. Straight to the point, I recommend as a nice table wine for any food — 6 months ago

Medium straw with green tinges. Nice persistent perlage and pleasant creaminess. The nose is pure bliss. Caramel with butter, apricots and pears, honey and apples. Fragrant floral notes along with warm brioche and sea spray.

A very stately and baronial wine from Chouilly in the Côte des Blancs. Rich and well developed at this point. The minerality is so good and the acidity just right. Precise and concentrated with all the depth that you would expect. Very lively and powerful.

The palate follows the nose with honey dipped apples and cinnamon. Chalky notes mingle with the electric citrus fruit. Long, long finish that just keeps going on and on. This still hasn’t hit its peak, it has miles to go. — 9 months ago

Another bottle. This rocks. A little bread and biscuit on the nose. Lean and defined. Rocks and conserved lemon. Very good. — 4 years ago

Like this one more than the Zinfandel . The zif was sweeter. This has a hint of the tannin grape skins. “Ripe black fruits and bittersweet chocolate notes. Smooth texture due to firm fine tannins. Rich plum, cherry and black currant aromas with notes of rhubarb and pepper.” Super good! Might be a favorite? — 5 years ago

Bought this lovely Champagne at a wine shop in the Marais near Village St. Paul in Paris. Asking for a good pairing with Munster, it works very well with the strong cheese. The yeasty flavours of both cheese and champagne are a good match for each other. — 6 years ago

Big old world fruit bomb! Actually a Monastrell/Syrah 50/50 Blend. Loads of intense red and black fruit with elements of vanilla and toffee. Aged in bourbon barrels. Long finish. I actually served this one as a dessert wine because of the BIG fruit. Thanks for this bottle, Bud. — 7 years ago

From Mag. Mature... a hint of apple and sherry but not too much. On the palate broad and slightly lush with settled acidity and decent length. Given this is s mag, it's probably worth checking in on these as their time may soon be up, but for drinking right now- very good — 7 years ago

Impressive but really big for a Pinot. More if i find a second bottle. For those in the know one of the Top 10 Pinot Specialists in Germany. These folks have their own oak forest. — 7 months ago

With my flu significantly behind me, I ventured to Alsace. What a knockout of fruit and acid, nearly overwhelming. — 4 years ago

German Pinot Night - Huber has his own oak forest which he uses for his barrels - so he does not use American Oak as one of the reviews suggested. Much more fruit than E&M. A lot of folks loved this wine for me too much fruit but still an excellent wine. Orange zest - lime - plenty of tannins. This has 5-10 year left. Green tea - tart apples 🍏 and hint of cherry. Not imported to the US - suitcase Import. — 5 years ago

On the lawn for Tanglewood this evening, Film Night with Andris Nelsons & John Williams, mostly playing scores from JW scored films, Dracula, E.T., Indiana Jones, Close Encounters, Harry Potter and of course Star Wars!
Slight oak, but total Grenache profile in your palate, nice but was a little chilly. — 7 years ago
