Pale gold with a constant stream of tiny, active bubbles. The nose is customarily stately and quite pretty with an abundance of apples at first whiff. A bit of lemon and biscuits come to play along with pears. The nose definitely matures in the glass over time revealing more chalk and stone as times goes on.
The new cuvée from Louis Roederer that focuses on individuality from one year to the next. A brand new blend based on the 2017 vintage alongside a perpetual reserve and reserve wines. 42/36/22 PN/CH/PM with a moderate dosage of 8 g/l. This is certainly a more baronial champagne but there is a bit of unexpected zest here as well. A wine that takes a bit of time, and probably years, to fully come alive and strut her stuff but it’s drinking quite well right now.
The palate features a burst of clean citrus fruit initially. Followed by a nice backbone of thankfully understated oak. Baked bread and Granny Smith apples with a touch of cinnamon. Something new from an old house and done in style. These are truly fun.

Tropical fruit (banana, pineapple, lemon bar, toast, cream, baguette, butter) long finish, medium acidity, medium alcohol? Medium body, medium plus flavor, primary and secondary characteristics, can drink now but has potential for aging — 6 months ago
Samuel Smith's Organic Pale Ale is a nice pint. Amber coloured with a good but not over frothy bread. Bready, malty, and with a hint of caramel complimented by light carbonation.
A good traditional pale ale from one of England's oldest and finest brewers. — 10 months ago
Very reminiscent of framboise, doesn’t really taste like an ale, nor alcoholic — 2 years ago

This is incredibly delicious Gamay!! Bright fruits on the nose and pallete. Made with much care and precision. After a few sips youre left with the inner conflict of quaffing down the rest of it because it's so damn delicious and drinkable or continuing to sip it to discover further flavors and layers.
