Delicious!! Smoky deep heavy flavor! At Hank's — 7 years ago
This wine is from NW Spain, just E of Rias Baixas, made predominantly of hand-picked mencia grapes of >50-year-old vines. The color is light purple with a brick tinge; nose is full and round with dark berries, a flinty salinity, mediterranean spices, and a hint of cabernet-like pyrazines; taste is also round with mild small tannins and medium alc. and acidity, dark fruits, no hint of new oak, and a pleasant elegant finish. Paired with spanish hams, dried pata negra filé, and French Beaufort ”gruyere-comté”-type cheese from the milk of high-altitude grazing cows. Yum! — 7 years ago
Эстрагон, лукум, ряженка, благовония, луковая шелуха, слива, малина, костяника, вишнёвый сок, в послевкусии подсохший мёд. Вначале немного сумбурно и неопределенно, со временем находит красивую внутреннюю гармонию. Тонкая летучка, средне-лёгкое тело, мягкие танины, свежая кислотность. Молодо, открыто, беззаботно, но не глупо, с интересной фактурой. Там где недостает воспитанной элегантности, берет непринуждённой естественной грациозностью движений. — 8 years ago

It's been about 10 years since I last tasted this, this is the 12/06 disgorgement and while the bead is barely detectable, the sap has remained, so what you have is a very vinous, juicy champagne that needs more time for the sweetness to taper off. The nose is pronounced intoxicating white truffles, sherry and agrumes, with some anise that I get from Beaufort. For now i say hold. — 8 years ago

Road trips deserve respites. Beaufort, SC’s Old Bull Tavern spinning Marvin, Jimmi, and Stevie while casually offering up perfect garlicky oil bathed snails set upon crazy freshly baked chewy sour dough simply screams for, oh yeah, the wine. This fine Pomerol waits, wanting , her dangerously dark scarlet skin shimmers as she spins in the early evening tempted by the tunes revealing her marooning shades, darker bleeding berries, showing lighter in the wafting inconsistency of candle light. Another spin , a tilt, a voyeur’s gaze, a twirl, and a first kiss’ earthy wet spice on the front succumbs to plum its well-balanced acid clutches begging another spin, The I sip slow seductive deep kiss as she floods forward - I swallow, but she clings slowly, gradually, teetering touching sliding slowly, stealthy, soothingly, seductively signaling - have another hit... Don’t miss this wine or place, both picture perfect dripping southern edge and charm with a French accent and kiss🍷🌀 — 7 years ago
Excellent slatey minerality. Sweet red apple. A very Pinot Champs. Palette is full and sweet. Dosage evident. Maybe would integrate a bit more win age. Or just enjoy now. — 8 years ago

Solid premier cru champagne from Bouzy. Quite middle of the stylistic road - as in, not overly precise and linear or yeasty and round. Nice. — 6 years ago
