Cuvée Rosé Brut Champagne

9.3

To me L-P is a reference point for NV rose.
Ripe yet refreshing, persistent fine bubbles, vibrant palate with great fruit intensity and subtle minerality, creamy and airy texture, clean finish. Just a sense of overall balance. — 3 months ago

Château Pontet-Canet

Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend 2023

Alessandro Dalle Carbonare
9.7

Beautiful subtle aroma from Merlot makes it pretty. Its free spirit nose makes you feel what the wine is going to be about. Drinkable and fresh. Apparently missing weight but it doesn’t miss a bit all the way thru the tasting. The aftertaste is long and very, very pleasant after one minute. — 14 days ago

Dom Pérignon

Brut Champagne Blend 2008

9.7

This was opened and we enjoyed a few glasses before recorking and reapproaching 24 hours later, at which point it was really singing. Yellow peach, pear and medley of orchard fruit, layered with pressed yellow flowers, dried persimmon, and notes of vanilla and bourbon. So delicate. Such fine bubbles. Saltwater taffy and some caramel and rock salt on the palate. Subtle tannic echo. Mesmerizing. — 6 months ago

@Peter van den Besselaar better to rephrase- it was good but reticent upon opening, so we recorked it and then tried again after 24 hours, at which point it was really amazing.

This wine has aged so beautifully! Smooth tannings, subtle aromas of black cherry, plum, black currant, pencil shavings, dried herbs, chocolate, vanilla, caramel and a hint of mentol.
A wonderful wine for a special occasion. — a month ago
