Dom Pérignon

Brut Champagne Blend 2008

#AgedWineTuesday

Light gold in color.

Nice crisp nose with limes and brioche.

Light to medium in body with medium plus acidity and small bubbles.

Dry on the palate with nice complexity.

Showing citrus, yeast, minerals, bread, green apples, herbs, earth, lemon juice and white pepper.

Long finish, tasty and elegant.

This 16 year old still feels very young, and will continue to age nicely in the next 10 to 15 years. Rich and well balanced.

I love this vintage of Dom Perignon. Complex and interesting. I've had this vintage it a few times before, and it is very consistent.

Good by itself as a sipping wine, or with food. Good stuff.

12.5% alcohol by volume.

92 points.

$350.

Spätburgunder Wanne 2015

Turned into a beauty. Fully developed soft and mellowed out. Still nice fruit. Hint band aid, chocolate, bark. Dark ripe cherries. Hint blackberry and lime. Plenty of acidity. Could go 5 more years or so. At some point i have to take a look at the “Wanne” aka Bathtub vineyard. — 4 months ago

I wish I’d had some of that

Château d'Yquem

Sauternes Sémillon-Sauvignon Blanc Blend 1999

Yellow gold with copper hue, quite thin pale rim . Caramelised pineapple, saffron , vanilla , creme brûlée , quite rich and decadent. On the palate again quite rich , barley sugar , creme brûlée and saffron, just enough acidity to balance and a little alcoholic warmth . On the medium length finish , lemon rind and a touch of caramel . This is probably at peak now , just misses a little vibrancy , freshness, however successful for the vintage . Drink now and over the next 10- 15 years — 4 months ago

Classic orange/gold color. Citrus/orange on the nose with some subtle oak. Wine is thinner than usual and lacking depth and flavor. Very short finish. — 2 months ago

Lillian Winery

Gold Series No. 1 Syrah 2013

It’s an Oregon wine for sure and by that I mean way lighter in body than a CA Syrah. The flavor and finish is not at all dialed down. It’s got a great nose, edge on the palate and a very long finish. — 4 months ago

Interesting. Her style is way lighter at least compared to the other bien nacido wines I have had.

@Norman Gennaro : I agree with you. Not sure how much of it has to do with the other vineyards, use of whole cluster, when she picks, etc. I really like the Lillian Syrahs…I need to find more!
