Sipping Fine Wine

9.1

Had this a while ago and wanted to try again. Perrier-Jouët, founded in 1811 in Epernay by Pierre-Nicolas-Marie Perrier and his wife, Adele Jouët. The firm began shipping wine to Great Britain in 1813 and to the United States by 1837. Bright straw with fine mousse and tiny bubbles, stone fruit and citrus aromas. The palate shows complex fresh fruit, vivid acidity, perfect balance on lingering finish ending with a yeasty mineral touch. Great value! A fav! Very nice! — 8 years ago

Located on a beautiful 300 hectare estate, the Giscours vineyard is located in the famous Margaux appellation and eventually included as a Third Growth in the 1855 classification. The young palate on this blend of Cabernet Sauvignon: 70%; Merlot: 20%; and Petit Verdot: 10%; shows ripe berry fruits with pronounced toasty oak notes. The tannins are smooth but needs development. The lingering complex finish shows potential over the next decade. Drink the 2012 if you want something now. — 9 years ago

From and old bottle with a medium shoulder level and a fully branded cork that had the last third of it crumble a bit. Opaque in the glass but still quite ruby in color with reddish amber rims. Nose of small blackberries, spice, cedar wood, charcoal, and soil. Unbelievably rich and fruity in the mouth. Tannins completely integrated, leaving you with a mouth of silky fruit. The perfume of this wine is amazing. One of the best Bordeaux experiences of all time for me. Maybe the 61 Latour beats it but I'm splitting hairs at that point. Smoke em if you got em. — 9 years ago

Makes me want to give up trying and sampling other reds from around the planet. Red as it should be . A benchmark wine of energy and grace. From skin to core, layered with French expression. Worth it's dollar value as every expensive wine should be but often isn't. We're it not for my wife with me, this would have been the real beauty in the room. — 10 years ago

Had three bottles at dinner tonight with a group of friends. First bottle good, but tannic, perfumed, spicy. Second bottle has the same backbone but lots of dark fruits. Third bottle was near perfect blend of the first two. Had with Chateaubriand. — 10 years ago

Plum and currant. Very Cabernet Sauvignon as expected. I bought this from a left overs bin for about $30 without looking to see what I purchased. Had I looked before opening I might have waited a few years. I had a problem with the cork which was dry and brittle at the top third but ultimately came out clean. — 11 years ago

Third Cardinale this week, I guess I'm doing something right. Dense blackberry jam, graphite, almost crunchy texture with tight tannic structure. — 8 years ago

Damn., I’ve got to go to his house more often!!!!!! All kidding aside., we were celebrating Veronica’s (his beautiful wife) birthday and what a truly special Evening.it was. There’s nothing better than uncorking a special bottle with friends that have become like family.
We love you Veronica!!! And put up with Kirk just because of you🤣😜🤣

1998 vintage has held up really well! With my buddy Gibby and wife. Let it decant over several hours and it opened up beautifully. Cedar, leather and mineral on the nose. Long finish with full body. Wish I has 10 moe bottles. — 11 years ago

My wife bought this to celebrate the new year. it is young and fruit forward but is well balanced, with lots of flavors, big vanilla, and spice. This wine has a nice mouth feel, heavy toast, which would pair great with red meat or barbecue! — 11 years ago

For reasons my wife can’t quite specify she has had her eye on this selection for many months. What better occasion to finally try it than on her birthday? Very delicious wine with a lovely nose of dark fruits, baking spice, dust, and vanilla. On the palate an elegant expression of Cabernet Sauvignon with a bounty of blackberries, plums, dark chocolate, espresso, and mild notes of vanilla. — 8 years ago

Not bad for a mid-week pull. Dark, full body muted berries on the tongue. A little confused mix of flavors as I down a second glass - maybe the third will bring clarity. Merry Christmas to you all! — 9 years ago

It definitely needs to breathe a but but its good. Fruity without being too sweet. I drank it after a long work week and frankly it did the trick! Worth a try and a good wine to bring to a party of non/wine drinkers alike. — 11 years ago
