A beautifully bright and expressive Champagne

most in prime spots and granite soils

star anise and cured meat

all wrapped in a mildly austere and persistent finish

richer and denser than those of the Champeaux but ultimately less complex and not quite as deep on the backend

Penfolds, Bin 707 Cabernet Sauvignon other_regions A beautifully bright and expressiveRuby red. Vinous, captivating aromas of blackberry, wild plum, currant, roast coffee and mocha, with subtle rather than overwhelming evidence of American oak. Concentrated, harmonious and quite suave; at once velvety and nicely delineated thanks to ripe, well integrated acidity. Finishes with substantial ripe tannins and excellent length. Stephen Tanzer
