The seductiveness of the 2000 vintage comes through beautifully, but the Mesnil has extra dimensions of depth that aren’t found in the Vintage. Smoke, ash, graphite, pastry and lemon are some of the nuances that unfold in this supremely gracious, refined Clos du Mesnil. I expect the 2000 to take some time to reach its peak, but it is superb, even at this early stage. Anticipated maturity: 2015-2035."-AG 95 Pts - WA 318 Krug Blanc des Blancs "Clos du Mesnil" Brut 2002, AOC Champagne 2175 "Krug's beautifully citrus colored 2002 Blanc de Blancs Brut Clos du Mesnil (ID 415068 - disgorged IV/2015) shows a deep, complex, very clear and precise if not etherial bouquet with citrus aromas intertwined with chalk and noble brioche notes in the background. Pure, profound and vibrantly fresh on the palate, this is a straight, athletic, very intense and expressive yet highly elegant and finessed Clos du Mesnil with a unique fresh fruit character! "-SR 98+ Pts - WA 417 Krug Blanc des Blancs "Clos du Mesnil" Brut 2003, AOC Champagne 2175 "The 2003 Clos du Mesnil is insanely beautiful. Vivid, resonant and textured in the glass, the 2003 boasts magnificent depth and pure breed. Since I last tasted it a few months ago, the 2003 has begun to shut down, which is probably a great sign for its future and overall longevity. Hints of smoke, slate and dried pear gradually open up in the glass, but the 2003 mostly stands out for its exceptional finesse."-AG 94+ Pts - WA 318 Krug Blanc des Blancs "Clos du Mesnil" Brut 2004, AOC Champagne 2145 "The 2004 Clos du Mesnil captures all the pedigree of this epic Blanc des Blancs vintage. A soaring, majestic Champagne, the 2004 dazzles from the very first taste with its crystalline purity and brightness. In two tastings so far, the 2004 has been nothing less than a total showstopper. The vertical structure and pure, tightly-coiled power are the stuff dreams are made of. There is little doubt the 2004 is one of the very finest Clos du Mesnils in recent memory. Will it join the 1979, 1988 and 1996 as one of the all-time greats? Now, that is a tasting I would love to do!"-AG 98+ Pts - WA ____________________________________________________________________________ RPJ-Robert Parker WS-Wine Spectator WE-Wine Enthusiat WA-Wine Advocate ST-Steven Tanzer AM-Allen Meadows page 2 of 96 July 2021 Vintage Champagne 212 Pol Roger "Cuvee Sir Winston Churchill" 1988, AOC Champagne 1416 328 Pol Roger "Cuvee Sir Winston Churchill" 2004, AOC Champagne 644 "An intense golden-yellow color dresses the Pol Roger prestige cuvée 2004 Sir Winston Churchill, which opens with a clear, deep, dense, ripe, fresh, pure and elegant bouquet of matured apples, apricots and lemon flavors along with exciting spicy flavors. Although this Brut is already more than 11-years-old, it is dew-fresh and still developing--slowly. This Champagne is highly complex and well structured on the palate, with grapefruit flavors; it is a full-bodied and intense, yet very firm, persistent, fresh and very elegant assemblage of unnamed Grand Cru Pinot Noirs and Chardonnays. It reveals a very long and complex, powerful but stimulating finish, and obviously, an eternal youth. The finish is powerful and stringent, and reveals a great, great aging potential."-SL 95 Pts - WA 218 Pol Roger "Cuvee Sir Winston Churchill" 2008, AOC Champagne 645 "Released in October of last year, Pol Roger's 2008 Cuvée Sir Winston Churchill is showing brilliantly, unfurling in the glass with a complex bouquet of waxy citrus rind, dried white flowers, freshly baked bread, iodine and honeyed yellow apple. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, powerful and vinous, with a deep and multidimensional core, broad structural shoulders and considerable concentration, girdled by tangy acids and displaying a youthfully frothy but incipiently fine mousse. The finish is long and intense. This is a terrific rendition of this reliably superb cuvée and well worth seeking out."-WK 97 Pts - WA 517 Salon "Le Mesnil" Blanc des Blancs Brut 1988, AOC Champagne (1.5L) 3300 Rosé Vintage Champagne 3-3 Bollinger "La Grande Année" Brut Rosé 2007, AOC Champagne 530 3-1 Dom Perignon Rosé Brut 2005, AOC Champagne 804 3-1 Dom Perignon Rosé Brut 2006, AOC Champagne 784 946 Louis Roederer "Cristal" Brut Rosé 1989, AOC Champagne 645 ____________________________________________________________________________ RPJ-Robert Parker WS-Wine Spectator WE-Wine Enthusiat WA-Wine Advocate ST-Steven Tanzer AM-Allen Meadows page 3 of 96 July 2021 French Sparkling Wine 3-3 Domaine Huet "Réserve" Brut 2009, AOC Vouvray Pétillant, Loire 174 Italian Sparkling Wine 3-2 Barone Pizzini "Animante" Brut NV, DOC Franciacorta Traditional Method 136 3-1 Barone Pizzini Brut Nature 2014, DOC Franciacorta Traditional Method 174 3-2 Cesconi "Blauwal" Spumante Brut NV, DOC Trento Traditional Method 221 3-2 Parusso Spumante Brut 2012, Piemonte Traditional Method 170 3-2 Pojer e Sandri "Zero Infinito" Non-Disgorged Spumante Brut NV, Trentino 161 3-2 Sergio Mottura Spumante Brut 2009, Lazio 161 Spanish Sparkling Wine BTG El Celleret NV, DO Cava 64 Canadian Sparkling Wine 4-3 13th Street "Cuvee Rose", VQA Niagra Peninsula Traditional Method 132 3-1 Hidden Bench "Blanc de Blanc" Zero Dosage 2013, VQA Beamsville Bench Traditional Method 132 3-1 Hinterland "Les Etoiles" 2015, Prince Edward County Traditional Method 116 4-1 Huff Estates Brut 2011, VQA Prince Edward County (1.5L) Traditional Method 192 Greek Sparkling Wine 3-2 Karanika Xinomavro Brut 2015, Florina 100 ____________________________________________________________________________ RPJ-Robert Parker WS-Wine Spectator WE-Wine Enthusiat WA-Wine Advocate ST-Steven Tanzer AM-Allen Meadows page 4 of 96 July 2021 White Wine Canada Ontario 1-1 13th Street Winery "June's Vineyard" Riesling, VQA Creek Shores VQA 65 3-4 Big Head "Raw" Chenin Blanc 2016, VQA Niagara Lakeshore 122 BTG Cloudsley Cellars Chardonnay 2017, VQA Niagara Peninsula 73 2-3 Cloudsley Cellars "Foxcroft Vineyard" Chardonnay 2017, VQA Twenty Mile Bench 135 1-2 Hidden Bench "Estate" Riesling 2017, VQA Beamsville Bench 73 2-2 Hidden Bench "Rosomel Vineyard" Fumé Blanc 2017, VQA Beamsville Bench 84 4-2 Hidden Bench "Felseck Vineyard" Chardonnay 2016, VQA Beamsville Bench 114 3-3 Hinterland "'Red Herring" Chardonnay 2017, VQA Niagara Peninsula 96 1-1 Hinterland "L'Imparfait Macération" Savagnin/Chardonnay/Gewurztraminer 2018, Prince Edward County 94 4-2 Le Clos Jordanne "Le Grand Clos" Chardonnay 2017, VQA Niagara Peninsula 122 3-3 Pearl Morissette "Metis Blanc" Chardonnay 2017, VQA Niagara Peninsula 92 2-2 Stratus Viognier 2012, VQA Niagara-on-the-Lake 103 2-2 Stratus White 2014, VQA Niagara-on-the-Lake 103 1-1 Tawse "Quarry Road" Chardonnay 2014, VQA Niagara Peninsula 128 ____________________________________________________________________________ RPJ-Robert Parker WS-Wine Spectator WE-Wine Enthusiat WA-Wine Advocate ST-Steven Tanzer AM-Allen Meadows page 5 of 96 July 2021 White Wine California Chardonnay 4-3 Chalone Vineyard "Estate Grown" Chardonnay 2015, Chalone AVA, Central Coast 158 2-3 Failla Chardonnay 2016, Sonoma Coast AVA 177 3-3 Failla "Hudson Vineyard" Chardonnay 2016, Russian River Valley AVA 254 4-4 Fort Ross "Fort Ross Vineyard" Chardonnay 2014, Fort Ross-Seaview, Sonoma Coast AVA 196 "The 2014 Chardonnay Fort Ross Vineyard is a beauty.
