Few bubbles in the glass. Bruised golden apple, golden pear, slightly reductive / sherry-like. Reminded me a lot of the Peter Lauer 1987 Riesling sekt, but with fewer bubbles. An interesting but not crowd-pleasing Champagne. @ Persona, Stockholm — a month ago
Happy 4th of July Weekend 250. 🧨 🎇 🇺🇸
Lemon met by equal intensity of green apple, lime w/ zest, pineapple fresh, some mango, tropical melons, white stone fruits, light caramel, lemon chiffon pie w/ graham cracker crust, whipped cream, dry chalk/limestone powder, volcanics, light white spice, sea spray to fossils, some yeasty bread dough, yellow lilies wrapped in white spring flowers, cool stream acidity, balanced, mid toned/structure with a nicely polished elegant finish that lasts just over a minute and long sets on sea bed and soft white spice.

Been a minute since I’ve had Ruinart. Especially, a Blanc de blanc. From 375ml.
The mouthfeel, rich with soft mousse. Slightly bruised golden apple, touch of apple cider, yellow pear, ripe-juicy yellow peach, juicy pineapple, tropical melons, green caramel apple, brioche-baguette crust, frothy cream, soft, white spice, vanilla-vanillin, saline-sea spray, dry, volcanic minerals, dry limestone marl, crumbled-dry chalk, yellow flowers framed in white, spring flowers in greens, pleasant, soft acidity and well balanced, mid toned/structured, elegant finish that lasts nearly a minute and long sets on beautiful minerality. 91+
The top left cave picture tells you why no other region can replicate that kind/much chalkiness in wine. The roots swim it. For me, there is no real substitute. — 4 months ago
Green apple sweet and delicious. Went well with almond crackers and watching the Norway England World Cup semi final — 8 days ago

Medium lemon yellow fine , persistent perlage . Quite rich and ripe on the nose with some roasted nuts , lemon peel , some camomile , still quite restrained and a little closed. On the palate again quite full and rich , ripe lemon fruit , orange rind , roasted nuts and a creamy mouthfeel , certainly enough acidity to balance but on the richer side . Good length and lightly toasty finish . This is good now but will probably improve over the next few years and last well a further 5-10 . — 2 months ago
Just delicious- lovely balance — 5 months ago
Non vintage but with >5 years bottle age. Amazingly dry and crisp. Was not expecting apple and dryness. So fine with yeasty notes. Long and satisfying — 7 months ago

A light nose of lime and stone. A hint of green apple. On the palate lovely fine acidity. This it’s defined and sharp and edgy with great definition and very fine detail. Lovely stuff — 4 days ago
