At The [Running] Footman in Mayfair with Sly and Eugene. This was a great Pomerol. Lush but balanced; a ripe style with earthy notes. Good with our Scottish roast beef ... — 3 years ago

So light, so creamy - absolutely lovely. Drank it way too easily. No acidity - just smooth and light and summery and perfect. Cream. Yes. — 5 years ago

My first experience here. 67meunier/ 25chard/ 8pinot. About a third of the wine is perpetual reserve going back to 1998. 2016 base, disgorged 2019.
At the price, and based on style, first comparison that comes to mind is Mousse Fils L’Or Eugene. There is something magical that happens with meunier in how it transforms with reserve wine. So much brown spiced pear aromatics…savory honey and apple spice too. Where this differs from the Mousse Fils is that the mid palate is just a touch less rich/more bright (due to the Chardonnay component), but it adds a really cool profile to this champagne. The reserve wine makes an appearance toward the finish as it has a cider-like flair. Great fruit with a vein of acidity, a beautiful combo of bright/aged characteristics. Definite re-buy.

A fabulous find!! Grasevina is a dry, fresh, aromatic white wine with apple-like notes. It’s typically considered to be a neutral and easy-drinking wine. The everyday wine of Central Europe, Grasevina is also known as Welschriesling. Recognizable features of the grape are its acid and slight almond-like bitterness. Belje began in 1697 when Roman Emperor Leopold gifted the estate to Prince Eugene of Savoy. The wine is straw yellow with hints of light green. The wine itself is beautifully fruity and flowery, fresh and crisp acidity that resembles citrus with the slightest hint of sweetness. This wine is well balanced, finishes with a beautiful orange peel note and a nice bite. An exceptional food-friendly wine that is unfairly overlooked and underappreciated.

Tonight I have opened the 2018 Acrobat Pinot Noir. King Estate Eugene, Oregon.
Onnthe nose there is cherry, strawberry, raspberry, spices, chocolate, vanilla and earth.
On the palate there is nice notes of cherry, strawberry, raspberry, cola, herbs, spice, clove, forest floor and earth.
This wine is medium bodiedwith medium acidity and medium + fine tannins which moves seamlessly into a medium to long fruity earthy finish. Here it is Thursday evening moving into the weekend and this wine really sets the tone. A quality wine that at this price point is a wonderful QPR. Please lets start the weekend off with love and happiness and enjoy each others company. Please stay safe and healthy. Nostrovia! 🍷🍷🍷🍷 — 3 years ago
