- Bucko - 04-11-1999 Served with mallard duck-inspired hors d'oeuvres: 1990 Blanc de Blancs, Late Disgorged, Brut - Very clean and refreshing, toasty, crisp apple fruit and a pleasant aftertaste. Served with citrus-poached lobster with osetra caviar and lemon sabayon: 1993 Rose, Brut (from double magnum) - Nice toasty flavors but overly tart for my liking (it may just need bottle time). I'll reserve judgement. 1989 Late Disgorged, Brut (from magnum) - One of the better CA sparklers that I have ever tried. Nicely aged fruit, pretty, toasty flavors, with a very long, lovely aftertaste. Forrest Tancer scored a bullseye here. Bucko - Jason - 04-11-1999 Iron Horse does make some great stuff. Still wines are worhty too. Chard is no malo and current Pinot '97 is the best Pinot I've had in a long time. |
