Dark brick red-cherry robe. Bouquet of leather and herbs. Supple tannins, although definitely present, leading to a velvety smooth texture. An earthy attack giving way to a red fruit evolution and an energetic, lengthy finish. Still has life!

heaps of folks bag the 2011 vintage from #victoria #australia but Phillip knows how to coax goodness from a less than ideal #vintage. may not last as long as other years, but it is elegant & eminently enjoyable, with bright red fruit & earthy savouriness. — 10 years ago

Caviar Day!! Tropical notes of dry pineapple, lemon zest and lemon verbena, with brioche and cooked egg white, iris, cocktail peanut, and English muffin aromas. Chalky textured on the palate with bright, medium mouthfeel and dry tangerine and pomelo accenting Meyer lemon and starfruit with lingering lemon blossoms and cumquat. #Haton #JeanNoëlHaton #Champagne #Damery #brut #vintage #2005 #sparkling #bubbles #caviar #caviarday #NationalCaviarDay — 8 years ago

My first #musar and what a #vintage to start with. Wow! The wine was hazy and red/orange showing advanced age and med concentration. The nose and palate were very lively with sweet delicate fruit and immense complexity only achieved by starting with a high quality wine and aging it perfectly. #lebanon — 10 years ago

Slightly oxidized but has great mineral character with rich brioche and yeast notes. #champagne #rose #vintage #veuveclicquot #bubbles — 11 years ago
Brioche, biscuit, madeleines, poppy and marigold aromas. Racy lemon zest, lime and gooseberry, with a tangerine pith leading into the silky mousse and a decidedly chalky and dry, lemon pith, arrowroot and hazelnut finish. #haton #jeannöelhaton #bubblesalldamnday #champagne #champagneday #vintage #vintagechampagne — 8 years ago

Another great #pulignymontrachet from #comtessebernarddecherisey This was an elegant wine with a touch of laziness most likely do to the #vintage The intensity was on the mild side but the complexity and fragrance were beautiful. The acid was lower and the texture was incredibly smooth. The finish was seductive and long. #premiercru #chardonnay #burgundy #ctbucklinwine — 10 years ago
This is my second time tasting this #vintage of #closapalta from #lapostolle No question that this is a huge wine but it is pretty well balanced for an 11 year old #chilean wine with 15% abv. Firm tannins, medium acid, and strong black, blue, and red fruit. After 3 hours exposed to the air the finish on the wine became bitter. I don't have super high hopes for this wine being fully mature but I am definitely intrigued about what could develop. #chile #colchagua #carmenere — 10 years ago
