Brut Champagne Blend 2004

First night open: 20 year old vintage— chocolate on the nose with a stone fruit finish. Tasted clean and complex with an almost immediate light evaporation in your mouth leaving you with the feeling of bubbles dissolving. Delicious. — 9 months ago

Les Clos Chablis Grand Cru Chardonnay 2002

Medium gold. Attention grabbing nose. Notes of pear, lemon, river stone, some clove and some tan spice. Oily and palate staining in the mouth. Lively texture, gets bigger over 6 hours. Great juice that will surely improve over next 10 years. — 5 years ago

Domaine William Fèvre

Les Clos Chablis Grand Cru Chardonnay 2004

Popped and poured, and brought out to compare to the 2008. Similar color and brightness as the 2008, which is a good sign. Deeper and slightly more complex nose. Notes of citrus, sea breeze, some hazelnuts, some wet stone. In the mouth it has a bit more weight, and kind of an oiliness to it. Taste lingers for a while. Very nice and sad to later discover this was the last of a 6 pack I had - all of which were in good shape. — 5 years ago

Sea Smoke

Streamside Estate Vineyard Chardonnay 2012

12' Sea Smoke Streamside Chardonnay. Last time I tried this particular bottle...made a note saying WAIT. It hasn't quite been a year.

Light golden in color(slightly darker then a year ago )Medium-ish body. This acidity has settled down since I had this last year(it needed to) quite nicely. Tropical flavors are still pronounced in the wine. Yellow apple, pear, pineapple, nutmeg & vanilla. Secondary flavors are starting to open up. Would enjoy trying this again in 2/3 years.

Cristal Brut Champagne Chardonnay Pinot Noir Blend 2002

2002 vintage in magnum. Light lemon hue. Wonderful nose. Wet rocks and lemon-lime profile, with dough, toast and hints of nuts. Stone fruit - white peach and underripe apricot. On the palate, wonderful balance and harmony. This is a great wine - everything works here, although still very youthful. Lovely mid palate concentration, but no excess richness. There's a purity with this wine which is very Crystal. Long and elegant finish. — 10 years ago
