It was 19 in TX Tues, hailed yesterday, and is 80 degrees today. Welcome to spring in TX.
I love the info on the back of these bottles as they give detail to the base vintage and when they were disgorged. This is ‘08 base, disgorged 2017.
Right up my alley. I’d call this oxidative, but not overly so. There is a Krug-ness about this style. It’s toasty and savory with a little caramel, toffee and baked apple. Creamy. For my personal taste, while I enjoy all champagne cold, this is one of the few styles that holds up well even once it warms up slightly as there isn’t a lot of tartness here. — 6 years ago

Let's welcome the weekend with this wonderful Merlot.
Deep red in color with medium intensity and a pink/ red rim.
Fruity on the nose with blackberries, blueberries, plums, cherries, oak, vanilla, green pepper, licorice, black pepper, chocolates, light smoke and spices.
Full bodied, smooth and elegant, with great legs and medium acidity.
Fruity on the palate with blueberries, blackberries, plums, cherries, chocolates, tobacco, wood, vanilla, coffee, licorice, cloves, spices and peppercorn.
A very long finish, with cloves, firm tannins and black pepper.
This is a Great Merlot from Spring Mountain, Napa Valley. Had it blind, and I called a 2012 Napa Cabernet. I was off by varietal, but that is what one can expect from it, a Napa Cab.
Needs a couple of years to tone down on the green pepper, Otherwise, nicely balanced and enjoyable by itself or with a big piece of steak.
Thank you, Mike, for sharing.

Krug is always most welcome, and Valentine’s Day is no exception. This is edition 169. A bit more yeasty and slightly less acidic than previous versions, to my taste. But if you like the Krug style - which we do very much - it hits the spot per usual.
My wife used to work with Fritz Hatton, proprietor of Arietta wines and auctioneer for Zachys. Fritz always says to have a half bottle of champagne waiting in the fridge in case you need a “midnight snack”, and I have to agree with him! — 4 years ago

Named after me, not his Dad named Joseph which makes no fuckin sense at all. But this has tons of full fruit flavors, but silky finish. You’re welcome — 6 years ago
The hint of elderflower is a lovely welcome aboard our flight back home from Cannes. If a champagne may be at once rich and refreshing, this one is. Sheer elegance in a glass. — 8 years ago
Acidic and mouthwatering with fresh apple and lemony citrus, but still luxurious and slightly creamy as you expect. We were given this as a welcome home from our honeymoon and it made the bottle that much sweeter. — 9 years ago
