Nose has ripe yellow apple, creamy oak goodness, pineapple core and browned butter.

Palate has ripe pineapple, under-ripe pineapple, ripe yellow apple, light oak notes with notable acidity still and medium finish. Still many, many years to go on this wine, drink 2025-2030+ from proper storage. Decanted 8H.

I'll reiterate prior comments, this is a unique wine...Winery notes:
"80% of the grapes were immediately whole cluster pressed. The Chardonnay was fermented in French oak with about 16% new oak. The remaining 20% of the grapes were placed, single layer, in shallow trays for six weeks following the traditional Passito method. After natural dehydration, the grapes were gently pressed and fermented in barrels. The two fractions were blended prior to bottling. A full malolactic fermentation lowered the acidity and improved the texture of the wine. The wine was gently filtered prior to bottling." — 3 years ago

Traditional method sparkling wine from Tokaj, delicious complement to the spicy tuna poké with avocado, seaweed salad, and edamame. Medium yellow hue, with flavors and aromas of orchard fruit, such as ripe pear, yellow apple, white flowers, biscuit, and a medium body, medium acidity, medium alcohol. Aromatic. Dry on the palate. Vintage 2015. ABV 13%. — 4 years ago

Rated on day 2: keeps well after being sealed tight and placed in the fridge (love a corkscrew cap). Smells like leather, fresh eucalyptus leaves and raspberry gushers. A jammy medium-bodied red; pairs well with fresh snowfall. Grenache takes on wintery savory, spiced notes thanks to a blend of old/new vintages (Solera method). Lingering molasses and dried basil flavors after final sips. Definitely tried to pour out the last few drops to get another taste ! 😍 — 4 years ago

A featherweight sparkling Assyrtiko made in the Champagne method. A fine mousse with a slight leesy character - it tastes of sea foam, almond dust and white rose petal. Clean, fresh and very easy to drink. 100% Assyrtiko, Santo is the first Santorini producer to craft a sparkling rendition of this grape variety. — 6 years ago

In 1858, it was the first winery in Rioja to produce wines using the Bordeaux method. In 1972, it was the first to promote the Rueda Designation of Origin. A blend of Tempranillo, Graciano, and Mazuelo. Spicy complex aromas of ripe dark berry fruit. On the palate, Berry fruits with sweet and peppery spice and toasty oak. Fine tannins, nice balance and good length ending with slight earthy tones. — 7 years ago

Method Traditionnelle vintage sparkling dry Rose made from Pinot Noir with a touch of Chardonnay for complexity. Lots of citrus fruits and lemon zest, white cherry, brioche, apricot. Very pretty blush color with nice zippy acidity and medium finish. — 5 years ago

9.1

Cava, blend Macabeo based, brut nature so no sweetness added. Prepared with the traditional method.

Big pop of the cork, lot of mousse in the glass, 6 streams of well aligned and lively bubbles.

Medium intensity of flavours of apple cake, bread and brioche. Buttery with a lot of nice toastiness. Also a bit of flinty minerality and citrus notes.

It is dry, with medium-high acidity and medium body. Medium-long finish. — 6 years ago
