As a lover of Solera/perpetual reserve wines, this intrigued me…as far as I know, this is the first Solera champagne I’ve had where the perpetual reserve is coming from the red wine (Pinot noir), not the base wine.

50 chard/ 35 Pinot noir/ 15 Pinot meunièr; 7g/l dosage

Faint copper hue in the glass (not a deep vinous style rosé). Initial reaction is this reminds me a bit of Charles Heidsieck Brut Reserve Rosé (which I love), but just a touch less layered. Very “big-house” in style. Plenty of toasted croissant, strawberries, and even some sweet spices. More red fruit on the palate but there’s also some apricot. With air, oxidized apple type notes show. The finish has a strawberry shortbread vibe alongside a classical mineral/chalk profile. I’m sure this would still be tasty if you cut the dosage in half, but it works for this wine (and the texture/broad feel on the palate from the dosage show nicely). — 7 days ago

Loving my BBB (Backyard Beer Break) with this excitingly fun Electric Isle Kettle Sour Ale! It’s tart, fruity & refreshing. Big raspberry, passion fruit & lime flavors. It was my first experience with this local beer (courtesy of my 3 year old’s play date‘s parents) but definitely not my last! Cheers 🍻 — 4 years ago

Pale copper. Nose with faint herbaceous & strawberry notes. Palate & finish is all watermelon. Moderate fizz. This would be bangin’ in summer with strawberry or watermelon salad. — 5 years ago

The Madeira that had the lowest number on the label was the 1845 Solera from Cossart. The last top up was apparently 1953, so this really wasn't nearly as old on average as some of the others. Dark brown with copper edges. Soapy on the nose. Quite short but attractive orange peel and spices. It might not be the oldest of the bunch, but it is rather past it. — 6 years ago

Color of purple with a bit cloudy copper tone on the rim, decent legs. Nose of dried strawberry and aldehyde, spicy, ripe grapes, a bit leather, vanilla, and oily pat. Nose is quite nice. Taste is mellow, almost no tannins with refined dark fruits sweetness, quite silky with hidden bittersweet zest. Aftertaste is medium with more vanilla and zest notes. Smooth one. — 3 years ago
