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." — 4 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 90% Tempranillo & 10% Graciano (varies sometime Mazuelo is added). A powerhouse of aromas, berry, sweet spice and some citrus on the nose. On the palate, dark berry fruits, cacao, some smoky pepper with a savory character. Fine tannins, nice balance and good length ending with slight mineral, oak and earthy tones. Great value, short term aging potential. — 8 years ago

Great blend of malbec and corvina, light appassimento method, meaty, powerful, strong, lots if red fruits but earthy flavours as well. Rough tannins with some peppery notes, rather long aftertaste. My type of wine! — 8 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%. — 5 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 ! 😍 — 6 years ago

This is a really nice NV champagne. Done in a solera style method with the oldest being a small bit of ‘88 vintage. It’s not quite as caramelized or oxidized as Krug, but there are definitely similarities. Where this is more bright fruit, it has the toffee and marzipan finish similar to Krug. There is more honeyed lemon here as opposed to honey comb. For the price, this is really nice. Thanks for sharing @Clare Gillette ! — 7 years ago
