Mid to bright gold in colour. A note of paraffin Notes of Orange marmalade, toast, apricot, mangoes and almonds. Intensity off the charts. How can you get this much flavour into a wine. A fitting finish to a marvellous dinner. Hats off to the Downs Club - Mark Kennedy the chef, and Peter Barbe the Sommelier. May there be many more such dinners, also Ramon the importer who spoke about each wine with great knowledge. — 4 years ago
Philippe Clicquot founded his label in 1772 with an ambition to spread his wine. He conquered Europe and then Russia in 1780, followed by the United States in 1782. His son François, joined him as head of the house in 1798, who had recently married Barbe Ponsardin & 7 years later, following the untimely death of François Clicquot, his young widow ("veuve" in French), just 27 years old, took over the family business. Crisp flavors of strawberry & cherry, vivid acidity on lingering expressive finish. Nice! — 7 years ago

Bordeaux blend of Merlot (80%) and Cabernet Franc (20%). Dark ruby color with a garnet rim. Aromas of blackberry, black licorice, cedar and violets. Blackberry, black plum and blueberry fruit on the palate with additional notes of vanilla, baking spices and tobacco. Very long, smooth and earthy finish. Velvety tannins and medium-plus bodied. Nicely rounded and complex. Thanks for the bottle, Kase. — a month ago
