Dense purple red. Aromas of caramel, vanilla. Flavors of blueberry, blackberry, eucalyptus on finish. Moderate to strong skin astringency, mild seed bitterness on finish. Light crispness, high pigment extraction yet light to moderate alcohol given its tannin structure. 13.5% alc/vol. Age worthy but I enjoyed it “young”. A special wine to lay down and taste periodically so buy several bottles if you can. After two or three hours, mineral character emerges throughout the middle and finish. A mild tar-like flavor and muddied tannin persist in the finish and aftertaste. Finally the berry flavors recede into a more integrated mildly tart fruitiness. Interesting dynamics. It’s not a fast fade, rather something more savory and structured emerges — a day ago

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of a couple of hours. The 2024 CCC pours a deep, ruby/purple color with a near opaque core; medium viscosity, with moderate staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with attractive, fresh notes of crunchy blackberries, black plum, lavender pastilles, Kiwi fruit, black pepper, crushed rock and minerals. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium+ and mineral laden. So fresh and easy to love. Drink now through 2034. — 7 months ago

1997 vintage. From a 3L effort. Super youthful on this end with cool fruits and plenty of lushness and little tannic presence. In a 750ml format currently...likely at the top (or close) of the bell curve with properly cellared bottles. Medium-heavy body. Mint. General herbaceousness. Frontal richness. Valrhona chocolate. Almost plushy and seemingly eternal. In a 3L format, will outlive anyone reading this. Sorry, everyone. 10.23.26. — 14 hours ago

Pale lemon in color.

Nice on the nose, and medium in body with medium plus acidity.

Dry on the palate with nice complexity.

Showing citrus, green apples, light spices, yeast, light brioche, minerals and sea salt.

Long finish with limes and almonds.

This 14 year old Champagne is starting to drink nicely now. Rich and nicely balanced. Tangy and spicy.

Still young, and needs a few years in the bottle to mature properly, and will continue to age nicely in the next 10 to 15 years.

I've had a few vintages of this Champagne, and this one seems less approachable at the moment.

Good by itself as a sipping wine or with food, like fresh seafood.

A blend of 50% Chardonnay and 50% Pinot Noir. Aged for 7 years on the lees.

12% alcohol by volume.

Poured into a decanter for about an hour prior to service; enjoyed over the course of a few hours. The 2023 RTW CCC pours a deep ruby/purple color with a translucent core; medium viscosity with light staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with powerful notes of mixed brambles, purple flowers, Fig Newtons, black pepper, dried green herbs, and silica rich, rocky earth. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium+ and comes across like laser cut steel. Drink now with patience through 2038. — 8 months ago

OMG! Lean and sharp as a light-saber. The wine is med brick in the glass… light and lively in the mouth. It dances across your palate. Caressing all the corners and crevices. A dichotomy of lightness in weight snd power in black fruited ripeness. Way too young but great with baby portobellos and dry aged prime rib from Publican Meats…Covid Christmas II sucks apart from family, but we’re spoiling ourselves… successfully as it happens. Life’s too damn short to drink shit wine…,Cheers! — 5 years ago
