Happy New Year Delectable!

It's a pinot noir new year (Clos De La Roche, Donum west slope pinot, Schramsberg blanc de noir) with an oven roasted chicken dinner!

Double decant and pour the Clos de la Roche. A formidable medium ruby red color. On the nose: spicy cherry, forest floor, slight menthol, raspberry, mushrooms. Taste: smooth, creamy, lush, structured wine with cherry, gamey, minerals, and a spiced strawberry medium plus dry still some tannins kicking finish. Nice start to the night. Cheers! — 4 years ago

Such a rich and weird wine. Day one double decant seems to be the way. Day two brought out sherry qualities. — 11 years ago

Even with a long double decant this wine was still tight. Eventually it did open up with lovely fruit underneath all the structure. — 4 years ago

This is a smooth liquid bread! This abbaye beer included toast, caramel and pears on nose. Honey, pears and malts with a medium sweet malts finishing. Well balanced structure. A very smooth bubbles that created by double fermentation process. They start to make beer since year 1074! — 10 years ago

Best way to end a super crazy long weekend/double. Butterscotch, buttery, and yellow fruit. Super delicious and crushable. Crazy beautiful yellow-green color. — 10 years ago

Tropical fruit and fresh drawn butter. No wonder the Carneros is a double gold medal winner. — 11 years ago
