- Nose
- Sparkling wine, citrus, pineapple, and cucumber create a broad festive club-cup aroma.
- Palate
- This is a fully layered social cup, broader and more mixed-wine in identity than the simpler claret or champagne branches alone.
- Finish
- The finish is sparkling, fruity, and perfumed.
- Summary
- A grand club cup preserving the maximal social form of the family.
Lincoln Club Cup is valuable because it shows the club cup as a synthesis form: multiple wine logics, spirit seasoning, fruit garnish, and soda all gathered into one ceremonial social vessel.
