Old Albans are mind blowing. I don’t give out too many 10’s but these deserve it.

La Grande Année Brut Champagne Blend

Have enjoyed this wine for the past three years but it’s just getting better. So plump and juicy with rounded fruit flavor. An absolute joy. In coming years my view will be that “04 is a better vintage than ‘02 despite all the hype around the later. — 7 years ago

Lanson

Extra Age Brut Champagne Blend

Intressant nytt vin från Lanson. Gillar en stora stilen, matkompatibelt. Lanson-syran har slipats ner men adderar mycket fräschör till den mogna frukten och brödiga tonerna. Reservviner från 00, 02 och 04. — 8 years ago

We are waiting to do an Axios vertical tasting. Don't think we have the '02- jealous!

@Kim Stanbro Never posted the 2001 👎. The 03/04/05/06 are very nice. The O2 is a better bottle of wine. Obviously this is just my opinion. I'm certain yours might be better than mine. Either way you're enjoying some very nice wines. Cheers to you!

Opera Prima Ruchè di Castagnole Monferrato Ruche 2010

Something different. Bit hot and very foursquare, but not trying to be anything else. Ideal for a ragout. — 6 years ago

Ruinart

Dom Ruinart Brut Champagne Blend 2002

02’ - not a huge aromatic nose but pristine presentation of grapefruit zest, white flowers, chalk, and a hint of smoke and spice. The palette feels a bit tired, the acid is medium, though the finish sticks around for a decent time. This seems past its prime, sadly. A lot of bottle variation in these right now I believe. — 7 years ago

CVed 1/16/18. A mini vertical of '02-'03-'05 after yesterday's '05. Lightest ruby color of three. Earthy autumn leaves and red brutes on nose. Silky well balanced palate and neon body with good lively texture and complex delicious finish. Better drinking more than the '05. Supposed more feminine and better balance. Wow, opened 2/1/23 and it’s fine! Great with Evan’s Salted Crispy Pork. — 8 years ago

Krug

Clos du Mesnil Brut Blanc de Blancs Champagne Chardonnay 2002

This wine has 2003-2007 inside, disgorged 02/2014, fantastic nose, minerals, some gasolin which disappeared, great integrated bubbles, taste very long some honey, some sweetness , though dosage 0.7 g, a masterpiece — 7 years ago

Shafer Vineyards

Hillside Select Stags Leap District Cabernet Sauvignon 2010

Well on it's way but still needs more time. A little heat on the attack gave way to a smooth, balanced dark fruit profile of bruised plum and macerated sweet black currant with some graphite undertones. The mid-palate was certainly not hollow but the secondary characteristics are just not spilling out like a more mature vintage of the HSS will show at its best (like the '02 I had earlier this year that encompasses all the best of this maker). Hold or audoze for several hours and then decant. Still an exceptional wine that will just keep ascending and evolving. — 9 years ago
