Happy Birthday Christina. 🎂 🎉 🥳

I have been holding this bottle for her birthday for about 5 years since we had this vintage last. Worth the wait. So much more complex now.

The fruits are more subtle and the toasted mixed nut buffet has taken hold. Butterscotch hard candy. Round, creamy, subdued lemon & pineapple juice, hints of lime on the long set, Bosc pear, white peach, whipped cream, brioche, some bread dough, some of the most beautiful yeastiness, what amazing, soft chalkiness, sea spray, undertones of white spice, crushed/powdery limestone, fresh, blooming Spring flowers & yellow lilies, excellent, perfect, crisp acidity, layers and layers on the well; knitted, balanced, structured, brilliantly polished, elegant finish that lasts minutes.

I’ve had some nice champagne lately and this beats everything except 02 & 96 Krug.

Such a brilliant bottle. Wish I bought more when I could!

Vinhos Barbeito (Rare Wine Company Historic Series)

Boston Special Reserve Bual Madeira

Delicious. Coffee, toffee, very nice acidity, quite sweet (it says semi dry). Mandarines. A perfect dessert wine. Would be a ridiculous great match with Tiramisu! — 3 months ago

Rare Rosé Blend

From Costco - flavourful and a little heavier than expected. Deep rose colour, good sipper — 4 months ago

Rare Millésimé Brut Champagne Blend 2006

Very good. Young and punchy fruit. Intense and grapey. Suffers a little between the 02 and 08 but very good. — 6 months ago
