2019 vintage. Elegant and French. Silky. Fruit and earth in balance. Wonderful way to usher in 2023. Enjoyed with New Year’s Eve pressed duck dinner at Pasjoli in Santa Monica, with Nai Nai and Robert. — 3 years ago

This 12 year old Champagne is starting to drink beautifully. Elegant and fruit forward. Nicely balanced with a nice mouthfeel. Soft and easy drinking.
Will continue to age nicely in the next 10 years.

Garnet with orange edge. Gentle and elegant aroma. Fresh initially, 1.5 hours, stabilized. Forest floor. Spices. Special fruitiness with passion fruits like. Taste is gentle sweetness first. Rounded. Medicine like aroma as well. stimulated to my brain. Robert Groffier Pete & Fils 14 @1900/G(18000), Fred, 241102 — a year ago
Very lemony nose. Lemon custard. Nice smooth finish for a Sauvignon Blanc. Enjoyed at Robert et Fils alongside octopus. — 3 years ago
Found several, had no idea bought multiple from Moore Brothers. Terrific library wine surviving here for over a year. Still got that freshness and lift and subtle complexity that made me want to just taste and not eat. That’s saying something. — 3 months ago
Great with a large steak and vegetables from Robert et Louise. Berry, slight spice, alcohol nose. Medium brightness, slightly tart, more dark berries and slight smoke. Very good — 3 years ago
For me the perfect Muscat! — 4 years ago

Double decanted. Light ruby color with a pronounced brick colored rim. Aromas of soy sauce balsamic vinegar, leather , forest floor and dried red cherry fruit. Flavors of mushrooms, tobacco, dried cherries and mint. Mineral note on the medium finish. Very little tannin but acidity is still plentiful. Slightly reductive, but well structured and balanced. Just kept evolving in the glass. Past its prime but quite interesting. Thanks for sharing, Kase! — 7 days ago
