Cristal Brut Rosé Champagne Blend 2006

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

#AgedWineTuesday

Pretty color of peach with a dark golden hue.

Fresh on the nose with limes, raspberries, strawberries, lemons, green apples, herbs, yeast, minerals, spices and light earth.

Medium bodied with medium plus acidity and tiny bubbles.

Dry on the palate with peaches, apricots, apples, raspberries, cherries, spices, herbs, yeast, light brioche, minerals and white pepper.

Long finish with limes and light bitter herbs.

This 18 year old Rosé Champagne is absolutely fantastic. Drinking very fresh right now, elegant and rich.

Showing nice complexity with a nice mouthfeel. Well balanced and very entertaining.

Needed 30 minutes to open up and show its complexity, but good right out of the bottle too.

Wine Enthusiasts 95 points. Wine Advocate 96 points.

Will continue to age nicely in the next 10 years.

Easy drinking and good by itself or with food. Delicious stuff.

A blend of 60% Pinot Noir and 40% Chardonnay. Aged for 6 years on the lees, with 20% in oak barrels.

12% alcohol by volume.

93 points.

$1,000.

Fabulous. Paired with lobster. Fresh and refreshing. Right up there with Cristal and Pol Roger Winston Churchill as my favorite champagne. — a year ago

Cristal Brut Champagne Chardonnay Pinot Noir Blend 2015

We had this a few days ago and I misplaced my notes. Citrus mineral and intensity I recall. Probably committing infanticide drinking this now but there were good reasons to. Firstly our son and wife plus our daughter home for Christmas from New York and secondly my retirement after 53 years at McDonald Group. — 9 days ago

Sir Winston Churchill Brut Champagne 2012

I thought this champagne was phenomenal - right up there Cristal, my usual favorite. Rich, sleek, and seductive. Lemon, pear, brioche, and a hint of toffee. Memorable! — 4 months ago

Bavarian Style Hefeweizen

Cloudy urine colour. With marshmallow creme enamel topping. Alpine sunrise lacing. Yeasty nose shows chive and beet greens. Grapefruit and black lime. Full palate creaminess turns sharp with lemon pith and oil surfacing. Microgreens and dried apricot form the parameters while yeasty pomelo notes bolster the core. Very zingy finish that refreshes the palate and adds substance.
