Smallest bottle of Moët I have ever seen. Deep golden color with plenty of mousse. Aromas of orchard fruit, white flowers, citrus and brioche. Flavors of green/pear, lemon, gooseberry and that hint of brioche. Crisp acidity and creamy texture. Fresh and lively with a consistent bead of tiny bubbles. Solid and a bit predictable house-style champagne and a nice way to toast our 39th Wedding Anniversary. — a month ago

The 2020 Bellegrave is well-defined and poised on the nose, blackberry and briary, hints of truffle unfolding with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with a graphite-infused entry. Quite solid and structured, almost like a "mini-Lafleur", with a well-defined and persistent finish that has splendid mineralité. Very fine. (Neal Martin, Vinous, February 2023) — 3 years ago

When in Portugal drink Anselmo Mendes… from the local mini mart…so savory, tart, & begging for food…a few digestif biscuits & some local goat cheese, this sings. Medium bodied, & so not for the faint of heart. — 4 years ago

A mini verticals of Merryvale Napa cab. First up is the 13’ from magnum.
A superlative vintage. Ripe fruits, spectacular acidity, and firm tannins. Taste very fresh. Built for the long haul. This will take take another 5 years to fully develop. — 4 years ago

At Mini India for the first time. Really liked the food…this wasn’t the lowest cost wine on the list. We went for a mid priced wine (15.9€) and found it to be a delightful experience. Would definitely have this one again, especially at this price point. — 3 years ago
