A nice solid Champagne. Light golden in color with a persistent stream of tiny bubble. The nose has toast and limes. Medium bodied. Good acidity. On the palate, nice lemon lime notes. Clean finish.

Golden in color with a persistent stream of tiny bubble. Frothy. The nose is tight at first but opens to show ginger, peach, toast, slight nuttiness and minerality. On the palate, this is dry and very crisp. Mostly about minerals, but some peach comes thru. With air, a slight strawberry note. An incredibly long finish. Just a delicious and complex Champagne. Drinking quite youthfully now, it should continue to drink well for the hext couple of decades. This will work with any food.
This was Magnum 94/200. A friend's daughter was awarded this bottle from her employer, and she presented it to him for his 60th birthday which was generously shared with his friends. Amazing wine. Silvery gold in color, a steady stream of tiny bubbles, clear and bright. The nose is big with toast, Meyer Lemons, chalk and a hint of ginger. Full bodied. On the palate, this is so smooth, yet so crisp. Flavors of green apples, orange peel, minerals and some toast. So complex and deep. Incredibly long finish. This is the best DP since at least 1996. Quite a treat. In Magnum format, i
Spectacular Champagne. The P2 series is held back for almost 15 years before being released. This one is from the excellent 2002 vintage. The extra time has served to make this a bit fuller and rounder but with all the verve of the original release. Golden in color with some green hues. A lovely stream of tiny bubbles in the fluted glass. On the nose, this is smoky with lemons, salinity and spice (ground coriander?). Full bodied. On the palate, this is incredibly smooth and seamless. Deep. Notes of lemons, limes, smoke and salinity. Great balance. Incredibly long finish. And, d
It is amazing how much wine Moet can make and be so amazingly consistent. Of course, Dom Perignon, is at the top of their heap. Light gold with slight silver in color. A steady stream of tiny bubbles form a nice mousse. The nose is nice with slight toast and a sort of lemon/tangerine quality that is really nice. Very clean. On the palate, that lemon/tangerine quality continues with a nice dose of carbonation. Incredibly smooth and easy yet with depth and also precision. Long finish. Probably not the greatest ever vintage of DP but still excellent. Drinking quite well at the moment
Wow! Its vintage Krug, but still, wow! This is still young but it is opening up now and really hitting its stride. It has a couple of decades left or more, depending how you like older Champagne. Light golden in color. A nice mousse with lots of tiny bubbles. This is a big wine. The nose has toast, slight ginger, cherries and a slight hay note. On the palate, this has a racy backbone of acidity. At the same time, a broad palate with great complexity. Some tart fruit on top with some cherry parfait in the mid-palate and underlying it all, great minerality and slight salinity. An i
