[45% Shiraz, 32% Grenache, 23% Mataro] Rich, ripe dark and red fruits, nicely balanced, ripe tannins, drinking very well tonight, medium-long finish, very good, and should age another 5+ years! — a day ago

Drinking well. Slightly sherry / honey but less than you’d expect for the age. Solid bubble but lacks the complexity of its pairing — 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

NV | midweight champagne from Chardonnay from Côte de Blancs and Pinot Noir from Montagne de Reims and Vallee de la Marne. Vibrant taste with apples and frivolous in smell, champagne came better out after pairing with oysters — 4 years ago

Popped and poured; enjoyed over dinner at Yoshitomo. The 2006 continues to show well, pouring a lovely straw color with a persistent mousse. On the nose, the wine is developing with a mix of apples, yellow tropical fruits, lemon curd, brioche, and nuts. On the palate, the wine is dry and the dosage brings balance with the acid, which is high. The finish is medium+. So lovely to drink right now and this could be said for a lot of 2006’s at the moment. Drink now through 2036. Disgorged in 2018 if I can read the code correctly. — 8 months ago

The Duval-Leroy Brut Réserve Champagne displays precise aromas of yellow apple, fresh lemon, brioche and roasted almonds. Medium to full-bodied with firm acidity and a long finish, this is a very crisp and lively Champagne. Drink now. — 3 years ago
