2007’s are starting to come on. The usual Leflaive lemon custard, but with the leanest of the vintage. I think this Bienvenue shows better then the Batard. — 8 years ago

No bubbles left, some seepage on the cork, but funnily enough it was still quite special, confit ginger, mandarin marmalade mixed with vanilla beans, custard, creme brûlée, just the caramel on the finish showed it wasn't stored correctly, all things considered quite extraordinary. — 9 years ago

Yet another Dressner gem. Floral aromatics, lovely balance of acidity, creaminess and rich fruit. Lemon custard on the finish. Day 3: accidentally left this out overnight to slow ox. Some much structure and purity. Great stuff. — 10 years ago

Unspeakable. The wine looked oxidized but when I tasted I lost my voice. Cream, custard, all the way through lemon-lime to stone fruits, tropical fruits . The oak influence extremely low aloud me to get clean flavors that shown the qualities of the wine maker and the wine's terroir. Finish long stayed for minutes. — 11 years ago

With this much age this is a really fun bottle! Nose has baked stone fruit and tons of hazelnut with a hint of dried citrus peel. Palate is lively and rich with amaretto, bananas foster, peach crumble, and lemon custard. Fantastic. — 8 years ago

Nice age to the yeasty lemon curd, with lemongrass biscuits. Great baked apple and lemon custard with a creamy texture that is super smooth, and lengthy. There is a paw paw creaminess on the back that downright loiters!!! #jschram — 11 years ago

Tres Beautiful nose 👃👃👃
Caramel apple-banana brûlée top notes, pear and spice underneath, still-pert lemon zest and peach custard, too. Palate delivers that Cali-leonine body -ie big! - but with enough brisk acidity to keep things more than decent. Long, with flavors that echo the nose and all around beautiful balance. Drinking super well at moment, near its peak and rewarding this bit of bottle age with plenty of secondary characteristics. PLUS:: #winebling (yes, there are some tartrate crystals, folks - all just adding to the allure - game on!) — 11 years ago

Quince, bruised pear, lemon oil, gardenias, brioche, custard, saline, honeysuckle, sea shells. Vibrant sharp acidity, rich medium body, compact bubbles, long floral-slightly tropical crisp finish. Terroir focused, corpulent with grace, rustic charm behind its obvious elegance. — 8 years ago

Tonight's wine is the 2014 Custard Sonoma Valley Chardonnay.

On the nose there are notes of pineapple, papaya, pear, mandarin orange, coconut, almond and vanilla.

On the palate we are getting lemon, pineapple, vanilla bean, caramelized sugar and a touch of butter.

There is sharp tingly acidity with a creamy mouth feel. All the way through you get that crisp clean long finish.

Very nice for the price. Very quaffable!

Amazing terroir and funk initially. A near-burnt apple bread, orchids, lilies, pine sap, mushrooms, and of course citrus nose. The palate offers creamy pear, eggshell, lemon custard, dried apricot, candied mango, toast and lemon zest, salty yellow plum, underripe strawberry-cherry-star fruit, this champagne has it all, from impeccable texture to unbridled complexity. Pithy, dry finish seals the deal!! #moutard #champagnemoutard #champagne #6cepages — 11 years ago
