With my flu significantly behind me, I ventured to Alsace. What a knockout of fruit and acid, nearly overwhelming. — 5 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

1982 Cheval Blanc. Bday dinner at R during staycation. Really enjoyed this wine. Drank beautifully with the duck confit, chicken, and pork belly dishes. However, K noted that this wine was not as great as the last times we'd had the wine (though a couple of those times were in large format) and that this one lacked the fruit and had possibly peaked already. Thoroughly enjoyed, nonetheless and a real treat! — 9 years ago

In a word, the 2009 vintage AR Lenoble Blanc de Noir is stunning. 100% pinot noir from the 1er Cru village of Bisseuil, 28% of which was aged in wood. This gives the wine an appealingly spice character and lusciously round body. The wine remains elegant and supple without a trace of heaviness. Baked apple, crisp acidity and vibrant berry fruit fill out the palate impression. Delicious. — 10 years ago

Champagne more on the elegant if lighter style. Nice light citrusy notes, plenty of fruit - especially at mid-palate, where toasty flavors blend in nicely. Fruit falls off through the finish, but there's still a nice long aftertaste. — 10 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. — 6 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 — 8 years ago

Sour patch kids and butter popcorn nose. The palate is velvety with pomegranate, a touch of chocolate and a figgy finish. Not as weird as its previous vintages, but still very enjoyable. Miss the massive funk though. — 9 years ago

The dryness, tannins & acidity of this wine paired well with braised short ribs. The ribs were accompanied by polenta & salad with Meyer Lemon vinaigrette. Very important pairing note - balancing acidity to cut richness but still give a pleasant mouth - feel. 2006 vintage - Floral notes weren't dominant for us. — 9 years ago

Loved this as it is so easy to enjoy as an aperitif or with a well suited meal. Biscuit, bread and leesy notes dominate with fruit taking a mild be seat. — 9 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? — 6 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. — 7 years ago

Nicely made NV grower champs. On the nose, yeasty and toasty apples, pears, lees. In the mouth, buttered toast and grilled apples. Great acidity. Good length. Perfect for painting and drinking on a Sunday. Disgorged Nov 2015. — 9 years ago

Still lively. All the components I like in an older bubbly - some underlying fruit but also a richness provided by secondary notes of roasted nuts, butter, and toffee. Wonderful! — 9 years ago
