Brut Réserve Champagne Blend
Off-putting style in what way? That is normally a consensus favorite at most champagne tastings.
Yes! Consensus “off putting”! From their website on this wine: “The 50 % reserve wines give an elegant nose : freshly baked brioche, roasted notes and ripe, sun-kissed fruits…” Perhaps the combination of the 50% Reserve wines used in this particular disgorgement does not suit my taste. I did not take back label pic on this either, so can’t offer you exact batch info. But, I was not alone in my experience, complete strangers shared this same sentiment during the tasting. Not an expert here, just not my style or at least this disgorgement. Cheers 🍾

Les Varennes du Grand Clos Chinon Cabernet Franc 2005
Holding up the best of a trio of sketchy old Loire reds. With air this reveals black currant, mesquite, tobacco, tomato leaf and slightest hint of raspberry. Still excellent but needs food — a month ago

Have It is time for my #FridayCabernetfix.
Deep purple in color with a wide reddish rim.
Nose of red and black fruits with cedar, licorice, tobacco leaf, herbs, cola, Mediterranean spices, light vegetables, earth, dark chocolates and black pepper.
Medium plus in body with medium acidity and long legs.
Dry on the palate with black currants, plums, cherries, cedar, licorice, toast, light vanilla, chocolates, tobacco, diet cola, herbs, coffee, vegetables, pencil lead and peppercorn.
Long finish with round tannins and tangy raspberries.
This 4-year-old Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley is drinking very fresh and young. Fruit forward with lots of earth notes to compliment it.
Rich, elegant and not in your face kind of Napa Cabernet. Spicy and tangy. Complex and interesting.
Showing a really nice nose, once it opened up, with lots of earth notes. Reminds me of a Left Bank Bordeaux. Delicious.
Good right out of the bottle, and better after 2 hours in the decanter.
Needs more bottle time, and will continue to age nicely in the next 25 years. A good quality wine with good potential to become a 94+ point wine.
I had a few vintages of this wine, and it truly shines at 20 years of age.
A good sipping wine that will also pair nicely with a nice piece of steak. Paired really well with my Stilton Blue Cheese.
A blend of 82% Cabernet Sauvignon, 17% Cabernet Franc, and a touch of Merlot. Aged in (65% new) French oak barrels for 18 months.
14.3% alcohol by volume.
92 points.
