Special Club Brut 1er Cru Champagne Blend 2012

2012. Celebrating our return to Lincoln and our daughter’s birthday at our favorite place. We started with this Special Club that my daughter said was her favorite champagne to date! Paired great throughout the meal! — 15 days ago

Special Club Brut 1er Cru Champagne Blend 2012

Pale lemon in color.

Medium bodied with high acidity and medium sized bubbles.

Dry on the palate with nice complexity.

Showing limes, grapefruits, lemons, green apples, brioche, yeast, minerals and spices.

This 13 year old Champagne feels very young and needs a few years in the bottle to mature properly. Complex and interesting.

Easy drinking and good by itself or with food.

11.5% alcohol by volume.

90 points.

$120.

Consistency is their middle name.

This has just started to shift from fresh to aging.

Bruised red apple/pear, lemon, lime zest, tropical melons, drier stone fruits, whipped cream, ginger, brioche, graham cracker, very light caramel/butterscotch notes, grey volcanics, limestone marl, sea fossils, gritty chalk, white & yellow flowers with greens, excellent lively acidity and a well balanced-knitted, elegant & smartly polished finish that lasts near two-minutes.

Paul Bara

Special Club Brut Grand Cru Champagne 2016

Sensational Champagne with pale gold color and deep autolytic flavors. Crisp ripe apple and lemon, chalky minerality, subtle raspberry, biscuit, brioche, Acacia, hawthorn, and hazelnut with an achingly long finish showing chalk, flint, honey and biscuit. A dazzling match with pan-seared scallops. — 3 months ago

Jacob's Creek/Orlando

Double Barrel Shiraz 2020

Delicious Shiraz. I wasn’t expecting much from it as it’s from the grocery store & was already 5 years old with a twist top instead of cork. I am pleasantly surprised that the taste isn’t sour. This was definitely a win — 5 months ago
