1st Growth Bordeaux comparison. Lafite is a medium minus bodied wine with notes of bright red berries, it has medium alcohol and high acidity. The tannins are round and finish lingers. — a month ago

Los Vascos Valle de Colchagua Cabernet Sauvignon 1697

8.9

1997(!) vintage. What a nice surprise. Still very much alive, a most pleasurable light Chilean Cabernet Sauvignon. I would have never expected the entry level of Los Vascos to age this well. Abv. 12,5%. — 7 months ago

Blanc de Blancs Champagne Chardonnay

Freddy R. Troya

9.3

Blanc de Blancs N/V 🥂✨, A refined and sophisticated Champagne, crafted entirely from 100% Chardonnay, sourced exclusively from Grands and Premiers Crus vineyards; Avize, Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, and Oger. Aged for 4+ years on the lees, with 40% reserve wines from their perpetual reserve (solera style).

👃 On the nose: Exotic citrus and dried fruit aromas lead the way, gradually evolving into richer layers of buttery brioche, pastry crust, and roasted almonds.
👄 On the palate: Bright and clean lemony entry with incredible tension and verticality. Opens into a spiced, toasty mid-palate with a saline, mineral-driven finish.

Mouthfeel overall: Elegant, fine-moussed, and precisely balanced, expressing the purity of Côte des Blancs Chardonnay. A Champagne that satisfies both the curious enthusiast and the seasoned connoisseur.

✨ Paired this with a sashimi platter—divine. But this could easily pivot to oysters, scallops, or creamy shellfish dishes.
Cheers to elegance and legendary craftsmanship! 🍾
