Paul Bara Special Club Blanc de Noirs Brut, Champagne, France 2015 Le Dauphin d'Olivier and polishedThe nose, dominated by a pastry note, expresses perfect maturity, with aromas of fruitcake and pound cake and touches of fruit jam (apricots and chutney). One can even detect a light spicy presence reminiscent of cardamom. In the mouth, it is full and generous, offering a garland of surprising flavors dominated by ripe and candied fruit that linger right up to the finish.
