Hard to beat for the price,
K&L notes,

The pristine condition of this stunningly copper-colored brandy is inspiring - it's gorgeous. In the nose there are delicate fragrances of spice, sesame seed, light oak, and baked pears; seven more minutes in the glass bring out pineapple, light toffee, milk, and brown sugar. The palate entry is elegant, composed, and moderately sweet in more of an oaky than a fruity way; by the midpalate stage, there's flavor evidence of ripe pear, white grapes, cake frosting, Oloroso sherry, orange peel, and dark honey. End up sugary sweet, satiny textured, and long in the throat. 4 Stars - Highly Recommended - Spirit Journal - F. Paul Pacult 40% ABV

Based on 2017 (60%) and I assume the rest is reserve wines; disg 03/20, 5 g/L dosage. Mousse is very dense at first. On the nose: green apple, brioche, lime, soft vanilla, verbena. The effervescence dissipates quickly, but obscures the nose a bit, as opposed to lifting it. On the palate: excellent acidity, if a bit prickly, wet stone, lemon oil, very mineral, and not showing so much fruit on the palate. White pepper and wet stone on the spicy finish. Seems very tightly wound right now...wait a long while on next bottle. — 4 years ago

After Mr. L. F. scarred the shit out of me on the 17‘ Enderle & Moll‘s. I took a look at the Basis wine. And guess what it’s pretty good! Rosé like color. Orange zest on the nose. Tons of acid so some folks might take a step back. Then morello cherries and back palate herbs. Touch band aid. Could run for another 3-5 years. Not one of their top efforts but not bad either. Needs tons of air. — 4 months ago

Biting heat. Angry green spice. All the herbs are melded into a single molten flavor. Crazy, beautiful stuff. — 3 years ago

Unknown % of Macabeo, Xarel-lo, Parellada, Chardonnay. 14 months on lees.

Super fun, loud & proud packaging which radiates positivity and happiness.

Young, energetic. Fruity, grass and mineral. Slight reductive note blows off, and easily masked with mixer or food. Excellent long lasting steady stream of bubbles.

Dynamite- toasty, tropical nose but laser focused palate- unreality and acidity carry the palate. — 3 years ago

Winery notes,

beautiful terroir skillfully worked by Jérômine Paret and Philippe Garnier. Responding to the call of his parents, Jérômine gave up a career as an English teacher to take over the family estate. She then studied business and allied herself with Philippe Garnier, who has one goal in mind: to achieve excellence. She does not regret her choices today and her customers don't either! Thus, the estate evolves each year with new wines and techniques. The organically-farmed vineyards are planted mostly to Marsanne, and this is reflected in the blend, which also includes Bourboulenc, Clairette, Sauvignon, and Ugni Blanc. Fermented entirely in stainless steel and resin-lined cement vats, the wine shows notes of white flowers including honeysuckle, jasmin, and citrus blossom, while aeration reveals secondary nuances of aniseseed, eucalyptus, and hazelnut. — 4 years ago
