Review of Cavit Collection Pinot Grigio

Wine: Cavit Collection Pinot Grigio (2005) - Cavit Collection

Reviewed: 26-Jan-2008

  • Wine Rating: 38%
  • 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.


Review of Joseph Loriot-Paget Champagne

Wine: Joseph Loriot-Paget Champagne (2000) - Joseph Loriot-Paget

Reviewed: 22-Jan-2008

  • Wine Rating: 65%
  • 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
