Same as the last tasting so it's consistent. Dirty strawberry/cherry nose. Little bit of juice and tannin but just won't deliver. Solid bottle for this dark and stormy #winewednesday #chianti #riedel — 9 years ago
Foreau 2007 Réserve Brut Vouvray greets the nose with flint and steel, limes leaves and lemon curd and tastes at every corner of one's head of saline seashells, taut skinned orchard fruit, lemon peels of no bitter pith and rises to a crescendo of dry candied lemon rinds if the sweetness of sugar we're but a ghost or memory and leaves us in a wake of oyster liqueur. This glows angelic as if back lit from within -at once calming and invigorating. All the better from #Riedel Veritas Champagne stems -an elegant lightweight wine glass that accentuates Méthode Traditionnelle better than all the crystal I've tried and a stem which looks, feels and behaves the sophisticate amplifier such wines deserve -that we deserve. — 10 years ago

Young and concentrated. Began to open up after an hour in the decanter. Forget about it for a few years. #coterotie #patrickjasmin #rhonevalley #syrah #riedel #ctbucklinwine — 8 years ago
