Dom Pérignon

Brut Champagne Blend 2015

Popped and poured; enjoyed from red Solo cups over the course of an hour. No formal notes. At this stage, the 2015 is more than giving, full of delicious ripe orchard fruits, tiny bubbles, racy acidity and minerals. I imagine this vintage will be really easy to love over the next 20 years or so. — a month ago

Brut Rosé Champagne 1986

Soft and plush. Wild strawberry and wet stone. Some faint floral notes. Focused, delicate and precise. Haunting fruit. Still fresh.. a wonderful bottle. — 7 days ago

Brut Champagne Blend 2008

Far more giving than the last time I had this vintage but it’s definitely one for the long haul. Will age forever and still showing very young. — a month ago

Brut Réserve Champagne Blend

Something for the Jasper Hill Farms, “Willoughby.”

I am not much for Brut these days. Prefer Extra Brut. But I had this 375ml left before I shifted gear’s.

Having said that, this is still very sound and consistent. Think I enjoyed it more once upon a time. It seems sweeter now having a steady stream of EB.

Nice mousse. Lemon, lime pulp w/ a bit flesh, Bosc pear, red apple, yellow stone fruits, tropical fruits, quince, ginger, whipped creams, graham cracker, nougat, light & soft volcanic minerals, nice chalk powder, sea fossils, gentle saline, yellow flowers & lilies with hints of jasmine, pleasant, lively acidity, good balance, structure-tension & a smartly polished elegant finish that lasts 90 seconds and long sets on white spice-ginger.

Excellent pair w/ Key Lime Tart.

La Grande Dame Brut Champagne Blend 1996

保存状態に不安があったが、流石の’96
多めのドサージュ(多分)と熟成によって、程よいキャラメル感が出ていて美味しかった。発泡はかなり弱目。

Les Pierrières Extra Brut Blanc de Blancs Champagne Chardonnay

2015 base, 2021 disgorged. Stunning out of the gate, fabulous concentration, aromas bursting from the glass. Worth the tariff on allocation, secondary pricing is bananas…. — 10 days ago

Vintage Port Blend 2003

Violets in the nose. Classic vintage port profile. Needed 5 hours of air to loose the harsh alcoholic notes on the palate. But after that it was balanced and singing. Together with Taylor's, Grahams is in my top three port producers. — 7 days ago
