Extra Cuvée de Resérve Brut Champagne Blend 1995
1995 vintage. Smokey on the nose though fruit still remains. Like a smokey comte with lemon and quince peel. Yarn flavours as well on the nose as well as marzipan and almond. On the palate is much fresher and with fruit. Tasted of toasted egg yolk as well. Plenty of length, enough to leave you thinking for20 minutes without pause. — 8 years ago

A very good champagne, which was a surprise for me. It had a distinct taste of Pinot Noir with almost caramelised fruits appearing together with the fresher notes. Nuts and creaminess were also present, alongside a beautiful acidity. I would have liked a little bit more length. — 8 years ago

Amazing acidity and depth of flavours. I'm not usually a big fan of bio wines but this was something else. The fruit was beautiful and the wine changed in your palate. Great wine to taste — 8 years ago

I Due Lari Brut Franciacorta
I was surprised to learn this was Chardonnay. It tasted like a blend of ch and Pinot noir. On the mouth its raisins, pine nuts, almonds, a bit of acidity and fruit. The dried fruits on the mouth remind me of a black grape(would guess PN) , as does the acidity. It's a full bodied sparkling that is heavier than it is complex. You could serve it to most and they would be happy. Still, those who understand elegance might not want to have more than a glass. — 8 years ago
Bodegas Bilbainas
Viña Pomal Vinos Singulares Rioja Tempranillo Blanco 2013
Fruity but with barrel underlaying the fruit notes. I also get some fresh grass and flowers. A little bit of cream and a full full body. It is somewhere a chardonnay, a Viognier and an Albariño. The fruit and acidity of an Albariño but the body and texture of a Viognier. Overall the aroma and feel would remind you of a Beaune Chardonnay on a first impression. — 8 years ago

Face Nord Grand Cru Extra Brut Champagne Blend

This was excellent. Much drier than the rest of the champagnes we had during the dinner it was a refreshing change after the RD. It of course had a lot more fruit and a creamier texture (derived from the Chardonnay) and a beautiful minerality. I do love minerality in champagne. I did not feel the contact with skins nor the autolysis as much, but I think the standard the RD had set biased my opinion. I would definitely recommend this for all champagne lovers. For pinot Noir lovers I would say the Pinot was not as present as I would have liked, though I did detect some nice berries and floral aromas on the nose. — 8 years ago

Oak fermented perhaps. Lots of fruit with some herbs. Easy to drink and great as an after-drink. Love the acidity and body (medium) . Easy drinking wine :) — 8 years ago

Needs to be really chilled for the dry fruits to tame and let the nuts and yeasty aromas come out. Right now feeling a predominant aroma of bread and brioche followed by apricots and nuances of fresh stone fruits. on the mouth the fresh almonds and apricots come out. Creamy mouse Ans medium length. Not extremely elegant but great for the price — 7 years ago
