Yes. Inexcusable offense of drinking a baby of this magnitude. Now that we’re past that. Every year I drink a bottle of this allocation right away with differing results. The 2016 is INCREDIBLE now! The fruit is accessible, there is tremendous balance, it is mouth coating, the tannins are great throughout, and it goes on forever.
I decanted for 4 hours and sampled pop and pour then about hourly. I did not share with anyone. Don’t tell Melanie when you meet her 😉
Color is inky garnet/purple.
Nose is white flower, blueberry, stone/pencil, and licorice.
In the mouth is blueberry, black raspberry, chocolate, sweet vanilla, and finishes with a touch of pepper (first and second hour more woody oak/cedar). This is amazing. I’m sure it’ll be a 100 someday. 5 bottles left, can I wait that long?
Also wine # 500! — 4 years ago

A perfect champagne to celebrate a perfect friendship! Cheers to your new fabulous home Melanie!🥂 Loving sharing this 2011 vintage with you! What an elegant and feminine Champagne with a blend of Chardonnay from Côte des Blancs and Pinot Noir from Cumières. Delicate hints of strawberry and rhubarb with a mineral finish with impeccable finesse. #champagne #vintagechampagne #2011 #louisroederer #saturdaynight #celebration #housewarming #funtimes #vin_elegance — 5 years ago

This is the 2018 Melanie Pfister Blanc de Blanc Breit Cremant d’Alsace. Very Champagne-like nose; I’d never be able to identify this as Alsace. Yeasty, slightly nutty-oxidative nose feature chalky appley Chardonnay fruit. Bone dry in the mouth. Tons of stony minerality. 50% Chardonnay 50% Pinot Blanc. — 2 years ago

Not much time. I poured a glass for Melanie, my wife, without saying anything and she said, “Oh my G*d”. Better than the review I’d have done anyway... cheers! — 4 years ago

Most importantly, Happy Mother’s Day to all the Delectable friends out there!!!
We opened this for Mother’s Day Eve celebration. Melanie got this for me for my Birthday. She called Hunnicutt behind my back and said I really like them, what could she get. I win. Yes, I know, I punched way above my weight, friends remind me of this often.
The wine quickly. Vanilla and tobacco on the nose and then everything melts together the fruit, tannins, weight, and finish just come together and go on and on. It’s so good. First time having 12 year old Beckstoeffer fruit. So great!!! — 4 years ago

Yummy Sicilian we had at Lelabar. Nose reminded Melanie of fruit snacks. Great wine for drinking on its own. The fruit comes in strong but not overpowering. Very juicy and lush. Beautiful light color / on the lighter side of medium body. — 5 years ago
