Flint, pear, and green apple. Crisp and bright. Not a ton on the nose but lovely on the palate. — 9 months ago
A nice level of mousse; citrus and fruit — Etihad lounge Abu Dhabi — 2 years ago
All Grenache (no Shiraz). And delicious. Really finds the sweet spot between ponderous, massive global-warming CDP and those people trying to do light picnic Grenache that should be chilled like fruit punch. Nose has kirsch and raspberry ooze, along with dank minerality. Nice flavor intensity in the mouth, but with little flab. Rich fruit quickly turns savory. Nice length and the balance between acids and tannins is well-struck. Should have gotten more. — a year ago
Drinking well. Slightly sherry / honey but less than you’d expect for the age. Solid bubble but lacks the complexity of its pairing — 3 years ago
Smooth with the proper edge. Tart apple fruit. — 2 months ago
Given by Akash, smoothest Shiraz we’ve ever had — 8 months ago

Good, but not my favorite. Very different from the Ruinart we had before. Much darker in color and significantly more tannins. — a month ago
