After having this back to back with the A.J. Adam Goldtropfchen GG I am realizing that 2020 just isn’t my bag. A bit too friendly and I prefer face rippers and enamel strippers. Great wines from a great producers but my personal preference is for more intensity.
I could be totally wrong and these are just shut down for the time being, but I don’t think that’s the case here. — a year ago

This is a great champagne. Not too sweet and very light. Will definitely be buying more — 7 months ago
Clear and bright garnet. Nose scared me at first being nothing but dirt. After opening up it gives black cherry, black cranberry, and forest floor (a.k.a., dirt). Medium light on the palate which echoes the nose. Medium plus acidity and sneaky medium tannins. A firm Burgundy-style Pinot Noir that’s a great match for high-end Old World fare or New World salmon, duck, or pork dishes. NV like so much from Champagne, so drink it (up to a year from) when you buy it. — 5 years ago

Chiseled and stony. Lime and slate. Acid in spades. Blind tasters were leaning Albariño and I don’t blame them. Uncharacteristic for the hotter/fatter vintage. Can’t find a lot on this wine and don’t know if “Hofberg Reserve” is an entirely different bottling than “Hofberg”. — 5 months ago
