Paul Baras Grand Millesime 2018 combines creamy red fruit, dominated by raspberries and strawberries, with an energising mineral freshness. Who wouldn't be in the mood for the next glass? Yet you are missing out on so much if you don't give it at least five years to develop its refined flavours in the cellar: gunpowder, dried apricot, hazelnut, nougat and freshly ground coffee. Paul Bara's legendary reputation is based on the incredible flavours they develop as they mature. 1959, 1955 or 1982 are among the best champagnes we have tasted.
Richard Juhlin 91 champagneclub.com A really delicious edition of Paul Baras vintage champagne. As usual there are features here that tempt the uninitiated to open the bottle far too soon. ...Today raspberry essence and whipped cream dominate emphatically in a creamy, cohesive, delicious taste.
