On the Lawn at Tanglewood this afternoon with the Boston Pops Orchestra. Our conductors are David Newman and John Williams are leading a diverse program of cinematic works composed by John Williams entitled "Across The Stars: Music Of John Williams". We'll enjoy pieces from Star Wars (various episodes), Harry Potter, E.T., Memoirs of a Geisha and many others. All works to feature the violin virtuoso, Anne-Sophie Mutter, a personal favorite soloist of ours on these hallowed grounds. Mr. Williams has rearranged many of the selections today to better feature Ms. Mutter, an exciting afternoon will lay ahead. 🎼🎻
A nicely aging monopole Chardonnay, loving the lightly oxidized yellow fruits.
Nose has oxidized, yellow apple skin peel, papaya and medium oak more notable today than prior bottles, albeit not distracting but embracing.
Palate has creamy, tropical fruits, over-ripe lemon and light minerality.
Just an exceptional bottle, likely the best of all the 'Clos de Malte' 2011's we've enjoyed to date. — 6 years ago


Yummy and fruity — 8 years ago
Intense full bodied wine. Should have been opened 1 hr prior to service. Menthol and spice came thru on the very last pour.. — 8 years ago

Not as sharp, crisp or creamy as prior years, but still a nice bubbly — 7 years ago
Not as exuberant as prior vintages, which is welcome. As always, very modern, open knit, full throttle. Not sure I cud stomach a bottle... — 8 years ago

Wow. This shows what some age will do to improve a great wine. My son asked I this was a Cabernet as it was too smooth based on his prior experience. — 9 years ago
Nuovo nuovo, fresco fresco, buono buono! — 10 years ago
This wine hit 18 on top 100 list in 2017. Best known for Sparkling Wines, served at White House since 1985. Pale salmon color, a blend of 75% Pinot Noir and 25% Chardonnay & aged 3 years prior to release, showing aromas of red fruit with citrus and biscuit notes. On the palate apple, strawberry and cherry flavors with orange zest, earthy yeasty spice and tiny bubbles. The wine is well balanced, good acidity, some yeast and minerality on the long finish. — 6 years ago
Just can't get enough of this bottle, best QPR in Champagne, for my palate!
Prior notes apply; Nose is toasty brioche and a minerally quince jam. Ultra clean, creamy palate reflecting the same notes.
I love this wine! Thank you @Lyle Fass — 6 years ago

Not as big as prior notes; continues to be a well balanced and crafted Pinot — 6 years ago

All prior notes apply! One of the best value, sparkling Riesling in the FLX. Our last 2017 and the nose is just exploding out of the Gabriel Glas! Lovely. — 6 years ago
