Sheer delight. The nose is hibiscus and ruby red grapefruit. The mouth is a complex and grippy adventure with grapefruit, red papaya, lychee. This is not a NZ Sauvignon by any means, despite those notes, it's a serious thinking wine to sip for days with or without food. — 9 years ago

How else to warm up for a trade tasting of invigorating Champagne this afternoon? Penetrating Sercial Madeira from the year that brought us the Boy Scouts of America. If wine were merit badges perhaps I'd nearly be an Eagle by now... After this evening's tasting I'll have quite a heavy merit badge sash for Champagne -an obsession that can reach no surfeit -it becomes more fascinating and evermore nuanced. For the moment however I'm awash in crushed kumquats in honey, marmalade, hazelnuts and roast peanuts -all layered among so much more in one of the richest Sercial Madeiras I've tried to date. — 10 years ago

A belated birthday treat courtesy of Daragh and Kara. Great acidity and tannin providing a great frame for the fruit, herb and earth notes. A true delight! — 10 years ago

A solid starter in the late afternoon. Strawberries, light berry. Not tremendous depth but not the purpose. Enjoy. Relax. — 10 years ago

Worth the wait.Complex, big Rioja that begs for protein. A masculine ideal more on the lines of LdH's Bosconia than Tondonia. A delight! — 10 years ago

Bought this one in the Fine city of Fargo on our way to Minot. Unfortunately my delectable app wasn't working so rolled the dice with this one...great summer afternoon wine with meat and cheese. Dry and crisp. Everyone liked it but grandma... — 11 years ago

A delight. Deep with some minerality... tannic but not biting... very drinkable, but not boring at all. Managed to complement octopus with Calabrian chiles just as well as pappardelle with morels in butter sauce. Som. mentioned the fruit's soil had a volcanic ash to it. $70 at Babbo. — 11 years ago

This was a delight... the '05 is drinking so we'll right now it felt like much more of a "special" bottle than its price point. I need more of this! Had lots of sediment... def. decant for an hour or more. — 9 years ago

For centuries now, the luscious, bright, all-encompassing delight of Champagne has been used to toast happy occasions. Often times a decent bubbly does the trick, but other times, something grander deserves to be poured.

Dom Pérignon (named after the monk who put Champagne on the map), a 2000 vintage. It's the kind of Champs one drinks upon making the decision that wine is not just a hobby, not just a passion, but a career. — 10 years ago

Should have waited a year. But delicate and juicy life. Feel the strength of Morgon and the delicacy of beau. Cranberry, raspberry, smoked tannins. A delight but I need another. — 11 years ago
