Really elegant stuff. Perfect balance, good length. As with brandy, quality has a lot to do with length of time in barrel, so one can only expect so much of a mid range bottling-it simply...

chenrezigdas reviewed Gaston-Chiquet Brut Carte Verte NV. (3.5/5)
On Apr 11

Excellent nv champagne. Good balance, fine bead, not too foamy. Yeast and almond on the nose, toasty on the palate with hints of reserve wines in the background.

Gaston-Chiquet Brut Carte Verte NV

On Apr 10

The only VORS sherry I've ever had, so can't compare it with others of that quality level, but I was blown away by this stuff. Huge concentration, pungent, fills the room with its aroma...

Domecq Amontillado 51-1a Vors

Starting at $69.99 Snoothrank: 3.5/5

Yeasty and briny, baking spices, nutty, much richer than what I normally think of as typical amontillado. Maybe this is Lustau's house style, to tend toward richness. Very very good stuff...

chenrezigdas reviewed LUSTAU RARE CREAM SUPERIOR 750ML NV. (3.5/5)
On Apr 10

Supremeley tastey stuff. Not as sweet as one would think, but comes off as richer because sherry doesn't really have the acidity that one might think. Still, well balanced and not cloying...
