Special Club Grand Cru Brut Champagne Blend 2008

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of a few hours. The 2008 pours a straw color with a persistent mousse. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of passion fruit, green apple, marzipan, light brioche, lemon curd, and chalk for dayzzzz. On the palate, the wine is dry with high acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long and textural; leezy. I’m smitten. Lovely stuff. Drink now through 2048. Disgorged April 2022. — 5 months ago

Un Jour de 1911 Brut Champagne Pinot Noir

So interesting. Always appreciate this 100% Pinot Noir blend from three different reserve vintages (one at least ten years old). Bright golden color. Distinct umami aromas along with hints of green apples, white flowers and red berry fruit. Flavors of red cherries and strawberries, soy sauce, apricot and mushrooms. Beautiful note of mineral tension on the long, persistent and lingering finish. Fine stream of tiny bubbles and a creamy mousse. Outstanding freshness, complexity and length. Bright and clean acidity. Quite intense yet very delicate at the same time. Simply fantastic and totally unique. Beautiful basket-style packaging. Thanks for bringing this special New Year’s Eve bottle, Kase! — 6 months ago

This wine is in one word, intoxicating. Fantastic nose of brambles, fresh blackberry, red currant, lavender, grilled beef, wood smoke, freshly cracked black pepper. Palate with tight tannins, med + acidity, fresh and tart blackberry, blueberry, sauvage. Spectacular value at 22 usd. Needs 5 years, but this is why I drink wine. @Lyle Fass — 7 months ago

Château Saint-André Corbin

St. Georges-St. Émilion Red Bordeaux Blend 2021

All the strength of a St Emelion merlot (70%) with the smoothness of 30% cab franc. Needs some air, but then nice balance of cherries, a little oak, some vanilla. Drinks well on it's own or paired with meat, maybe a bolognese, pizza, burgers. — 5 months ago

Vieux Château Saint André

Montagne-St. Émilion Red Bordeaux Blend 2022

Lyle Fass
9.3

Nose is minty and spicey. Palate is deep and rich with terrific mineral spine and wonderful structure. Ripe but substantial tannin. Nose has notes of ripe plum, peanuts and a saline element. Really good energy and depth. Not the most elegant wine but this has tremendous material and its own grace and charm. This needs air but I really like it. — a year ago
