Smell of minerals, lemons, pears, dryness. Initial sharpness smooths in a rush of bubbles to a touch of apple, lemon, raisins, and peach. Smooth, dry finish.

- Dryness: 3 - Medium Dry
Faint, dry, touch of caramelized sugar, watermelon, and appley to nose. Assertive green apple dryness smooths out into notes of apricots and oranges with a touch of currants in the finish. Dry at its heart with candied elements. [Joseph Loriot-Pagel. Brut. Blancs de blancs. 2002]
Review of Cavit Collection Pinot Grigio
Wine: Cavit Collection Pinot Grigio (2005) - Cavit Collection
Reviewed: 26-Jan-2008

- Dryness: 2 - Dry
Blunt lemony scent with faintly heavy overlay of honey. Quite dry, tastes of alcohol although it's only 12%, but with flavorfulness around the edges. Not particularly bad, but not particularly good either. Balanced between fruity and floral, grapey, touch of apricot, with a dose of lilac.

- Dryness: 4 - Light Dry
Light honey-elderflower scent. Immediate sharpness which smooths out into faintly sweet dryness. (Although actually described as one of the sweetest champagnes sold at the place I bought it.) Taste is of Granny Smith apples and pear, with hints of citrus and peach
Lovely light champagne

Wine: Domaine de Picquard Champagne (1998) - Domaine de Picquard

A little chocolatey at first, it resolves into blackberry and lime, with a faintly metallic aftertaste. Medium-light, but not full-bodied.
