Grande Cuveé 160ÈME Édition Brut Champagne Blend

9.5

Light straw gold. Tight nose at first. With an hour of air this blossomed to show notes that show a cross of buttered toast and citrus. Rich and powerful in the mouth. With more air the nose resembles a bowl of bread dough rising. The complexity is amazing. Reinforces how some champagnes need that air to shine. — 4 days ago

This is a nice Napa Cabernet. Still young and needs another few years in the bottle to mature properly.

Showing black fruits with earth chocolates tobacco spices oak vegetables and peppercorn.

Full bodied and bold with medium acidity and long legs.

Dry on the palate with mild complexity and a nice mouthfeel.

14.5% alcohol by volume.

@"Odedi" Odedi Glad to see your solid rating for this storied label. In my opinion one of the Napa best way back when, that seemed to lose its way. Relieved to see that is apparently regaining its mojo. Good for them and good for us the consumers. Cheers 🍷

I think that it would be better in a few years @P A

An absolutely stunning lunch from @joe leatherwood . 1 sparkler, 2 whites, 5 reds and 1 dessert wine. All served blind.

One of the best examples of champagne I’ve ever had. The moment I saw it in the glass, I was sold. Then I smelled it, and I was in love. Just absolutely mind boggling. I was between Jacques Selosse or older vintage Krug, and eventually felt very confident in my JSelosse guess. Supremely and beautifully oxidized. Sherry, candied ginger, honey drizzled stone fruits with orange marmalade covered scone. Nutty too. I can’t get enough of this style of champagne. — 18 days ago
