#AgedWineTuesday
Dark copper in color.
Medium plus in body with medium acidity, and small bubbles.
Dry on the palate with nice complexity and a soft mouth feel.
Showing raspberries, lemons, apples, cherries, brioche, light earth, herbs, light yeast and white pepper.
Long finish with tangy raspberries.
This is a delicious Rosé Champagne with some nice age. This 19-year-old is drinking beautifully now. Elegant and rich with tiny bubbles.
A little tight right out of the bottle, and needs time to show the complexity, especially on the nose. Easy drinking and needs 30 minutes in the decanter to open up properly.
Drinking at its peak now, and will continue to drink nicely in the next 5 to 10 years.
Wine Spectator 93 points. Wine Advocate 94 points.

A blend of 47% Pinot Noir, 33% Chardonnay and 20% Pinot Meunier. Disgorged in 2013.
12.5% alcohol by volume.

Classical Right Bank of Bordeaux blend of Merlot 60%, Cab Franc 35%, Malbec 3%, Cab Sauv. 2%, this particular V.2020 delivers an incredible array of soft ripen cherry aromas, decent structure, not so highly complex, but it has few layers of mulberry compote, dark cherry and açai berry, balanced acidity, nice hint of oak in the mid-range.
The most remarkable aspect was the soft tannins and its smoothness is so inviting that its finish provided a subtle savory taste at the back end of the palate. Awesome!
This wine will give the full round for the money, accessible price point that outperforms seamlessly, a crowd pleaser!
