Brut Premier Cru Champagne Blend

7.5

Colour: quite darkish straw yellow with smallish bubbles rising very quickly to the top.
Smell: fruity and quite yeasty. Crisp green apples and honey aromas.
Taste: yeasty apples with quite a harsh finish. Long lingering finish on the palate with apples staying very long in the background. Slightly biscuity and yeasty which adds to the complexity to the aromas. Bubbles are quite harsh and tbh, not as well made as the TWS cremant

9.0

Looks: very light transclucent red. Looks like a very thin body. Thick legs moving down the glass very slowly despite the wine looking thin
Smell: very fresh on the nose with soy of freshly picked red fruits notes. Fresh strawberries (abit unripe), preserved cherries and almonds in the background. No oak.
Taste: medium to low acidicity with little to almost no tannins. Almost no fruit on the palate and very weak, almost thin finish with a little preserved cherries coming out at the end.

Affordable PN and Should go well with food

6.5

Look: very dark red with very little to almost no light passing through. No legs forming and if anything, it’s reminiscent of a very thin liquid falling down the side of the the glass, unable to cling.
smell: some plums, a lot of chocolate, some tabacco and oak. Some dark fruits and herbs in the background. Very thin and Uncomplex in general.
Taste: chocolates, oak, smooth tannins and very short aftertaste with a little fruit coming through at the end. Some tannic bite at the end.

Very boring and thin in general

Colour: very light straw yellow with very big bubbles.
Smell: very fruity nose with apples, apricots and honey
Taste: Fruity with some honeyed undertones and quite carbonated bubbles. Acidic with good balance. Very easy drinking and perfect for a starter wine with seafood or just on its own.

Notes of honey and salty minerals on the palate after allowing the wine to breathe. Quite good after breathing

8.5

Looks: dark but translucent ruby red with thin and fine legs forming.
Smell: fresh raspberries, strawberries in a summer day. A lot of red and black fruits coming through. Slightly oaky and herby with some vanilla coming through in the end.
taste: quite tannic for a Pinot noir. Quite acidic with some fresh raspberries coming through on the palate. Pretty harsh tannins and maybe could do better after some decanting?

8.0

Colour: Dark ruby red but still quite transclucent which looks like a thin body. Medium legs which looks quite thick.

Smell: plums,chocolate,oak,tobacco,a lot of dark black fruits with a slight cherry flavour. A little almond in the background and the smell is almost reminiscent of a wet woody forest floor as if it has just rained.

Taste: smoke, oak, little fruit flavour with medium finish. Low acidity with high to medium tannins that remind me of skin on sable grapes. Very flat finish with nothing much to offer at the end. Sad :(
