Expressive dark cherries, plums and a good dose of stones. A hint of balmy and tarragon tangent. Very fresh, even refreshing, kind of meaty; even if a bit rustic, the finish corresponds totally to the olfactory opening — 9 years ago

Tart yet creamy. Notes of tropical and citrus fruits. What a treat for summer! — 10 years ago

I feel like I could enjoy this wine with any kind of food. It's fruity, citrusy, yet full bodied. The bottle was gone in 20 minutes. — 11 years ago

Had this beauty when I proposed to my fiancé! 1996 vintage brut by De Venoge out of Epernay! Age has done this champagne well. Nice creamy mouth feel, delicate, very fine bubbles, lemon zest, mousse, golden apples, toasted nuts.. arguably one of the best 1996 champagnes out there. A prime example of how a great growing year and proper aging after digorgement, like a 15+ year old vintage Cristal or Bolinger. Can't wait to try their vintage Rosé extra brut 2002, and their 2006 Rosé Brut that are also 93 rated! They both probably need several more years to mature so that the citrus acidity has lessened a bit and all the complexities emurge. Back from my tangent, try this champagne before there aren't anymore left! $199 at total wine for the gift set! — 9 years ago

So pretty! Harmony of dried rose, cherry aroma. Discreet fruit with mineral tangent and youthful tannic finish. Emotional — 10 years ago

Merry Christmas. Layered, complex, nuanced Cabernet. One vineyard, Phinny Hill. Could go off on a dorky tangent, let's just say really f'n good. — 10 years ago
