2016 GREG LINN VINTAGE AMMONITE LE MESNIL GRAND CRU CHAMPAGNE "The Greg Linn Vintage Ammonite Grand Cru Le Mesnil-sur-Oger Blanc de Blancs Champagne 2016 begins with a rich nose of ripe Granny Smith apples, toasted walnuts, marzipan, English rose petals and toast. The palate is mind-numbingly fantastic, with focused flavors that include subtle Meyer lemon, fresh apples, and brioche intertwined with a saline minerality that adds complexity and depth. The finish is long, powerful, and highly refined, leaving your palate not begging for another sip but requiring one. This is my new Special Occasion wine... have to find more special occasions, now." 99 Points
