Wow. The nose is a dead ringer for Cornas. And then the palate totally delivers also. Not quite as rich and dense as an equally young N. Rhône, but man is this amazing. Fresh and light but complex and interesting. A real pleasure. I was stunned. — 6 years ago

Good classic Champagne taste. Pear and a bit of toast. Lots of fine bubbles. A bit foamy for my taste but well made and re freshingly crisp. — 8 years ago

Super dry, you might even miss that it's Apple but that's okay. Half way into most ciders I'm over it, no such problem here. Which is good because it's comes in a 650mL bottle. — 9 years ago

1989 Bordeaux PNV Retrospective at Larkmead. Ringer! Purported itself very well. Pretty perfume, hint of capsicum. Cedar. Warm. Coffee. — 6 years ago

Good depth and nuance. Tastes like a decent mid range Champagne. A ringer in a tasting one day? — 7 years ago

Note to @Delectable Wine the winery is pronounced “Aranthia” but spelled “Arancia”. A Spanish ringer for Chablis (some people sense Chenin leanings) and a good one at that. Tropical flowers and citrus on the nose, but the palate is energized with lemon, mineral, bright acid, and some stone fruit bitterness. Very light on its feet, but finishes somewhat longer. Crazy good for a BTG selection. — 8 years ago

Brings the Northern Rhone to the table, with just a little extra oomph - but you'd be hard pressed to pick this out of an old world lineup as the ringer. At 8, just starting to stretch out - excellent with a little brisket. Or a lot of brisket. — 9 years ago

We blind-tasted several budget champagnes to pick one for our wedding. This one won by a handy margin. A few of us even preferred it to the Billecart-Salmon “ringer” that I included just for fun! — 7 years ago

A true bordeaux ringer. Lovely deep fruit with great cab and merlot showing more prominent than its % would suggest. Loads of depth and complexity. A revelation. — 8 years ago
