N.V. Ruinart Champagne Brut Rosé

Strawberries and floral. Color is light pinkish red. Straight forward, with slight acidity. Very easy to drink but lacks complexity. Simple champagne that gives your date a light buzz - it does its job.

N.V. Piper-Heidsieck Champagne Rare Cuvee Reservee Brut

Beautiful bottle N.V. champagne, with yeasty, biscuit notes. Some honey, beautiful color and consistent bubbles. Very easy to drink and enjoyable.

N.V. Pol Roger Champagne Brut Réserve

Excellent N.V. Champagne with fine bubbles, great citrus and green apple flavors. Medium bodied, fine integration of acidity and body, nice round and fat. Fantastic wine to start off the evening with, and also excellent value for money!

2002 Veuve Clicquot Ponsardin Champagne Brut Rosé Vintage (Reserve)

Thank you Alex for bring this for the night at the Pawn. Nice simple pinkish Rosé with exellent nose, black and red fruit and little spice. Nice easy finish. Enjoyable but I think the Vintage Rich is actually better but not sure if that is a reasonable comparison.

N.V. Laurent-Perrier Champagne Cuvée Rosé Brut

One of my favorite champagnes that I usually have at Aedes in Happy Valley. Elegant, when strawberry, floral and not too high acidity. This time, drank too soon, I think it tastes much better after it is opened for an hour or so.

It was probably a mistake to drink right from the bottle right after dessert, but I always prefer to the Rosé of Veuve Clicquot.

2002 Veuve Clicquot Ponsardin Champagne Brut Vintage Rich

Sweat, floral with refined apricot and almonds. Very light and sweet, smooth and beautiful champagne. This champagne is not sold in the US, so its a great privilege to have it in Asia. Elegant, feminine and very enjoyable even though our bottle was not thoroughly chilled. Very good for the price at around HKD550.
