First day of Richard Juhlin's Top 100 Tasting. 12 Champagnes in 4 flights. Not blind. Perfect matched food.
Convincing
Unbeliavable start. All wines with potential. CdM 1998 very strong, reaching his peak. The Krug 1996 even from colour a bit too ripe an amazing wine and The DP Oeno the youngest baby at this day
The second best wine of the lunch, the "weakest" bottle and a sleeping giant
The 1976ers look like to decline, a very good Charlie
The best flight of the day. PH was singing very genius. A nice Bolli 1966 and the best comtes of the two days (76 and 79)
Afterwards the tasting
At Camino, 5 great memorable bottles. Especially the Collection 1981 from magnum. Thanks Ivan for this generous sharing.
My Top3 and very close to the overall opinion
Piper Heidsieck 1955
Cristal 1996 Vinotheque Magnum
Clos du Mesnil
CdM 1996 a bit closed today. A great Bolli 1966, DP Oeno 1996 brutally young.
After the tasting soem great wines as Krug Colection 1981 Magnum
Phantastic. Thanks Dominik for the organisation.
2009 De Sousa et Fils Champagne Grand Cru Umami Extra Brut 92 Points
France, Champagne, Champagne Grand Cru
From Magnum, not blind
It was the starting Champagne for the first day of Richard Juhlin's Top 100. I had the chance to drink it 2 years before at the winery from regular bottle. Today much more balanced and subtle than then. Grapefruit, flintstone, citrus, salty, fresh and well drinkable. 92
