N.V. Taittinger Champagne Prelude Grand Cru
入口後的口感清雅,伴隨著濃郁柑橘果味以及烤吐司、榛果的香氣…
不過這支香檳的酸度稍微偏高,還帶有一丁點礦物的味道~
酒體圓潤、餘韻悠長且持久,不過卻帶點些許的苦味,讓人印象深刻…
整體來說,這支香檳的氣泡優美持久、且做得很有特色,極具表現的能力~ (88 pts.) – Tasted 5/27/2009.

This is another style that I enjoy when it’s well executed as it is here. Lighter in body but the flavor builds as it usually does in a fine burgundy, w/red raspberry,cranberry, pomegranate on the palate and strawberry in the nose. This slides down easily and lasts in your sense memory. Well done. (91 pts.) – Tasted 5/19/2009.

BBR Champagne tasting. ?75 per bottle. I understand that this house is fairly unknown here, but is very popular in France. Very similar lemon-gold appearance to the others. Mousse is very fine and lively with persistent small bubbles, although it doesn’t actually taste as “fizzy” as its predecessors. This nose is different from the others, with distinctive Chardonnay aromas of honey and nuts, and light (not overpowering) traces of tropical fruits like pineapple and grapefruit. The palate is medium-light (lighter than the others due to 100% Chardonnay), but any lack of body is masked by the delicious mousse. No hugely strong flavours on the palate, but more grapefruitty aspects, plus some refreshing apple. Medium-good finish. Good. – Tasted 5/16/2009.

Tasted at Oiniphiloi Wine Club during a masterclass on how Greek reds age.
Surprisingly good, at its peak right now with a fairly dark color with some garnet-brick hues, ripe tomatoe and some red fruits on the nose, mid-bodied on the palate with very soft tanins, nice fruit and balancing acidity. Fairly long finish. Nicely aged. (88 pts.) – Tasted 5/11/2009.
