Vintage Champagne Blend 1997

This is the 1997 collection, not a Blanc de Blanc but equal parts of Chardonnay, Pinot Munier and Pinot Noir. 20 years on its leas this is a fine example of a beautiful aged champagne. Nice gesture from my colleagues to celebrate my 60th birthday😋 — 2 years ago

Grand Prestige Premium Cuvée Brut Champagne Blend

[Consumed from a classic white wine glass] Beautiful rose gold; fine persistent bubbles. Inviting nose of dried apples and toasted coconut. Confirmed on the medium, surprisingly lush, palate which adds a finish of bitter almond marzipan. Finish is very short, but the size on the palate makes it not missed. A very good value Champagne from Lidl. Great for when you want the real thing but don't want to shell out the big bucks. Drink it when you buy it. — 2 months ago

Estate Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 1976

Delectable Wine
9.6

The 1976 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate from Clos du Val is the most interesting of all the wines. The estate was founded by John and Henrietta Goelet in the early Seventies when the couple challenged recently graduated winemaker Bernard Portet to create a Bordeaux-inspired estate in Napa. Clos du Val attained global recognition when its inaugural 1972 Cabernet Sauvignon was one of the wines poured blind by Steven Spurrier at the epochal The Judgement of Paris, so this bottle of 1976 was one of their earliest bottlings that, incidentally, came directly from Clos de Val’s apparently meager reserves. It is very elegant and perfumed on the nose, typical old school, classic Napa Cabernet in all its unfettered glory, beautifully defined with wilted rose petals and a light fish scale element. Supple, very pliant tannins define the palate. There remains ample freshness and poise, a fine silver thread of acidity and a clove-tinged, rounded, exquisitely balanced finish that would surpass practically every other Bordeaux from this vintage. Outstanding. (Neal Martin, Vinous, April 2024)
