Champagne Paul Bara Millesime
The Blind Pig Shiraz
This classy deep red wine fills the glass with aromas reminiscent of rich red berries and dark bitter chocolate. Dark plums enhanced with cassis, anise, and pepper mingle on the medium to full-bodied palate. Soft tannins and complex acidity lead to an overall perception of a smooth, rich red wine, with a nice persistence of flavour.
FRANCIACORTA BRUT CUVÉE
Bright light golden color with a vivid mousse. Rather complex and layered nose, vinous with (perhaps oak) roasted hazelnut, yellow fruit, apricot, fresh butter and brioche, rather white burgundy like on the nose. The palate is well-built with a bright freshness and layers of ripe stone fruit underlined by pastry notes and fresh butter with a long and lingering finish. Nice. Andreas LarssonBest Sommelier in the World ASI 2007.
FRANCIACORTA MILLESIMATO
Bright light golden colour. High intensity and fine purity on the nose with youthful stone fruit like apricot, peach with ripe citrus, crushed nuts and some autolytic or buttery hints. The palate is well-balanced in its bone dry style, very fresh and salivating with good extract, fresh yellow fruit, citrus, some nutty notes and a long persistence. Very good. Andreas LarssonBest Sommelier in the World ASI 2007.
