Tasted Thursday, January 25, 2024 by MN Wine Junkie with 44 views
Joe & Khem hosted the first "Guys" get-together of 2024, and it started with a bang! As always, great food, great friends and, of course, great wines! I can't help but to reflect at what a privileged life I lead every time we get together! While most reading this story have likely tasted many of these wines, just think how many have not, nor ever will, have that pleasure.
It is always fun to hear other's perspectives on wines! Plus, it always fun tasting some older wines (yes, "old" is relative!) For me, this was a great tasting because many of the wines were in my ideal wheelhouse, which is a balance between fruit and tertiary flavors. Hope you enjoy the story even a fraction of how much I enjoyed the "research!"
Another night of fun festivities! Always fun opening these wines and enjoying them with good company! Wine is meant to be shared, and these get-togethers remind me why!
Cheers, until next time!
2002 Billecart-Salmon Champagne Cuvée Elisabeth Salmon 94 Points
France, Champagne
This was excellent! One of the best Rose Champagnes I have tasted! I am a big fan of the vintage (although I own very few) and a fan of this producer for Rose! I don't know why I don't have more of this producer in my cellar.
Nose showed lots of brioche, yeast, white flower and citrus. Palate was full of raspberry, with notes of cedar, citrus, chalk and apple.
Easy 94 for my palate!
