Score 92/100 · Stephan Reinhardt, Wine Advocate
Disgorged in late June 2014 after alomost ten years on the lees, Bara's straw-yellow colored 2004 Special Club Grand Cru from the coteau de Bouzy offers a clear, bright, rich and complex bouquet of ripe fruits along with some spicy flavors. Full-bodied, rich and well structured, this is a truly expressive, fresh and vivid if not still (too) young Champagne that will polish its edges over the next couple of years. Compared with the purity and finesse of, say, the 2004 Lanson Gold Label, Bara's Special Club is not only bigger but also more tight and powerful. The length is impressive and thrilling. eRobertParker.com.November, 2014
