Happy new year DL peeps.
Enjoying this, but we both felt it was extra brut, rather than the brut label designation.
Typical champers notes of brioche and almonds. Good citrus grip, which finishes with muscular bubbles and a near bone-dry finish. Not quite our style, but still good. — 6 years ago

Didn’t take a bottle photo, but the ‘96 had notes of hazelnut, brioche, and a bone dry, subtle aldehydic finish. A great bottle to toast the new decade. — 6 years ago

Amazing. Excellent. The 1999 opened on New Year's eve 2019.

Lovely aroma of what I like to call violets and perhaps geraniums. Smooth, well balanced. Good color. Good acidity. Cherries, mushrooms, dash or hint of orange peel, bacon and something like fish.

Incredible wine. — 6 years ago

Happy New Years! This is actually Schlumberger’s special “Festspiele” rose, only served at festivals. This was at the Grosses Festpielhaus in Salzburg for New Years Eve. Nice wine! — 6 years ago

New Years Eve at The Farm Restaurant, Carneros Resort and Spa. Opened some of my favorite wines: Marcassin Chardonnay, 2012 with oysters and caviar and salmon dish. Structure of wine is layered with apricot-orange, floral blossoms, lemon, cedar and vanilla. The Next of Kyn, 2013 Syrah blend paired nicely with the Wellington beef. Covers the pallet with dark blackberry, licorice and chocolate changing in taste as it opened up. Tannins still present but not over powering. Both wines deserve a 9.5 rating with plenty of age left on them. — 6 years ago

This is the 4th year I’ve been lucky enough to enjoy a bottle of Champagne Louis Roederer 2004 Cristal Champagne with my wonderful Mr Spittoon.

Wasn’t he a smart man when he decided to propose with not only a ring but a bottle of this champagne which has now turned into a tradition for our wedding anniversary 😜

As we had to order this one online, we enjoyed it a bit after our anniversary, before setting off on our Christmas holiday and boy is it tasting bloody brilliant this year!

In the glass it’s a pale gold shade. Notes of vanilla pastries, raspberries, apples baking spice and aromatic cedar rise from the glass. In the mouth it’s wonderfully smooth, dry and well rounded with hints of honeyed fruits and nuts plus a long citrusy finish. Mmmm.. there definitely wasn’t enough in the bottle!

You can read my tasting note from last year here: https://travellingcorkscrew.com.au/blog/champagne-louis-roederer-2004-cristal/

All opinions are based on my own taste buds. Wine is subjective & always evolving, so make sure you drink what you enjoy! #tcweekdaywine — 7 years ago

Excellent modern style Pomerol with full of ripe red fruit and dark dried cherries with lots of tannin and slight hints of gravel. Beautiful Bordeaux but young yet goes marvellously well with a traditional beef Wellington. Cheers and happy New Years to all — 6 years ago

If I can draw up a Southern Rhône style bled, this pretty much nails it. Raspberry notes with an herbal quality and an elegant texture across the palate. Another one for NYE. Happy New Year! — 6 years ago

I don't know why none mentioned a strong and sweet currant nose (blackcurrant or red currant - I won't argue). It striked me hard. The rest: a subtle leather, The palate is mild, I expected some pepper, but I found a chocolate. The finish is short. A nice beginning of the New Year's Eve. — 6 years ago
