Dried

This bottle was bubbly for some reason, so may not be all that representative of what the wine should be. Nonetheless, a really nice wine. Nose of lime, lime peel, candy and maybe some tropical fruit. Palate of lime, lime...

Very good with food. Alone it is a bit acidic and tart for me. leaves tongue feeling dusty and dry. Med body. I bought 2005 vintage

Faint sweet honey and flowers on the nose. Gigantic bubbles on the tongue, extremely crisp and dry but with a sweeter edge than most nice Champagnes I've had. The finish leaves a lovely sweetness on the font of the mouth,...

Black olives and bay leaf flavors on the nose. Rich and dense with chocolate and green pepper notes. There's a hint of truffle and some barnyard, before the wine finishes on barely ripe raspberries and cherry flavors....

Solid bright grainy nose. Light in the mouth with an present but understated underlying acidity. Departs slowly and complexly with tea flavors and tarry cherries.

Bright ruby color, could see through somewhat. Nose of tobacco and cherries. Wine had very little tannin. Medium finish.

Had it with pineapple fried rice made Thai style (little curry, little sweet, little fish sauceyness going). Great table pairing. First impression: not dry. Wish it weren't as flat in structure though. Light bodied.
