Brut Finger Lakes Chardonnay Blend 2013
IMHO would give it 9.2
I agree with Sofia
Looks like your score needs to be subsidized.

Saint Barnabas Commandaria 2002
Разнообразные сухофруктные ароматы (изюм, курага, чернослив), пробка, карамель, ваниль, морилка, очень интенсивно. Сумасшедшей плотности вкус, высококислотный и одновременно приторно-сладкий. В послевкусии дерево, дым, приятная выдержанная горчинка.
Странно, что @Riddley Walker так низко оценил; по мне - этот винтаж один из лучших на всем острове. — 8 years ago
Я не люблю приторно-сладкие и древесные; хочется, чтоб при всей концентрации ещё и звенело :) Но оно мне понравилось, это я помню. А оценки дело относительное :)

'K' Ftelia Cabernet Sauvignon 1996
A beautiful wine.. smooth, a little toasted with a long aftertaste. Even after 20 years its nose persists with a bucket of red fruits of the forest. I love it — 8 years ago

Saw this recently in the store and it made me realize just how long it been since I’d had anything from the Finger Lakes, let alone a sparkling.
This 2013 is a blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir & Meunier and was disgorged in October of 2018.
The nose reveals; green & golden apple, pear, ripe pineapple, lemon, lime flesh, white peach, tropical melons, vanilla notes, cream soda, nougat, butterscotch notes, honeysuckle, saline, smooth, soft chalkiness, volcanic minerality, fruit blossoms, yellow florals & spring flowers with mixed greens.
Good mouthfeel, nice mousse with just the right amount of richness. Green & golden apple, just a touch of apple cider, slightly, bruised pear, ripe pineapple, lemon, lime flesh, white peach, tropical melons, vanilla notes, cream soda, nougat, butterscotch notes, understated white spice, honeysuckle, saline, smooth, soft chalkiness, gritty volcanic minerality, fruit blossoms, yellow florals & spring flowers with mixed greens. Nice acidy for sparkling. The finish is well balanced & smartly polished, sliding into penetrating, heated, white spice as it long sets.
Delicious sparking wine.
Dr, Konstantin Frank was the 1st to plant Vinifera vines in the Eastern United States. Vinifera vines are the only vines used to make quality wine.
