Mr. Spittoon picked up this rather unique bottle of champagne from Dan Murphy's last week for about $50. When he initially came home with it, I actually thought he'd bought a bottle of brandy when I spotted the short stocky bottle!

This Pinot Noir & Chardonnay blend is a rather deepish yellow with tangerine hints and soft flowing bubbles on the eye. Notes of toffee apples 🍎, crisp pear 🍐 and orange 🍊 zest dominate the nose for me. While on the palate it has a super smooth and delicate mouthfeel with strawberries 🍓, lemon 🍋 curd and creamy vanilla custard coming through. Totally enjoyable and surprising. We'll definitely be buying this one again!

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

Very good vintage wine. Very complex and rich in the nose. Intense flavors as well. Belo vintage, complexo em notas aromáticas e em boca também. Um belo achado em Reims - pena que não encontramos no Brasil.

Another QPR winner at Costco ~$23. It’s a touch fruitier pear and apple notes; not quite bone dry - delicious #champagne

16/20 (88/100) Яблоко и лимонный сок на первом плане, есть нота сдобы. Высокая кислотность. Яблоко во вкусе.

Ugh nothing to write home about in this Champagne. Not a lot of flavor - very bland. For the money I'd rather get a Cava or Prosecco.
