Same bottle (2014 vintage) like last note. Even better with some bottle age this is starting to show its full potential.
Creamy, crisp, candied lemons, excellent on the way up.

April Basanti (blind): 80% Chard, 20% PN, from 5 plots in Oeuilly, all on "lutetienne" (aka Parisian) limestone. Spont. fermented for 6 mo, no malo, bottled May 2006 w/ 0 dosage.
Brought this bottle to the tasting, so it wasn't blind to me. Loads of brioche, obviously aged. Lemon, green apple, some gentle spice (maybe nutmeg? hard to place) and a hint of toasted almond. Finish isn't very long. To be honest, my impression the night of is that it lacked complexity for the amount of time it spent on the lees.

Finished the bottle two days later, and it seemed to have more brioch-y nutty notes. I stand by my assessment that this is on the less complex side, but the price point is reasonable for such aging. While it is not falling apart (like some other champagnes I have had recently), there doesn't seem to be a lot of upside in keeping it.

Wednesday Champagnes at Basanti: Served blind. Showing the clear oxidation of a mature wine. Apple in a riper, less fresh cut way. While this doesn't seem to have gained the complexity you hope from a maturing wine its drinking well right now showing the way a Champagne should mature rather than tire.

80/20 chardonnay and pinot noir. Disgorged 2/14/2020, with 13 years on the lees and no dosage added.
Buttered toast, slightly caramel nose, not much fruit left to the palate here, this is all secondary. Reminds me of the Cuvee Louis but not as far gone as recent releases have been. Has a nice contrast between the rich, oxidative flavors and the bone dry palate sensation with no sucrosity whatsoever. The acid is a bit out of balance on the finish at present, and the CO2 pressure is a bit strong. I like this, but found the 2004 l'Aerienne drunk a few weeks ago more distinctive, and preferred it. That's the one I want to go long on. Although I do think this one needs additional post-disgorgement rest.
The CO2 has settled down a bit on day 2 and this is quite impressive. Nonetheless it is still not as expressive as the 2004 l'Aerienne at this point in time, and I would be inclined to give it 1-2 years rest before opening.

First time tasting these late released gems from Tarlant, this one is 70% chardonnay and 30% pinot noir fermented in barrel. Malolactic was "not provoked", whatever that means. Disgorged March 26, 2018 -- 12 years on the lees -- and no dosage added.
This shows a golden hue suggesting its age, but I found the nose and palate rather youthful, with only moderately developed richness. It reminds me very much of the multivintage Cuvee Louis, but with less intensely oxidative caramel/butterscotch than I've found in recent releases of that wine. Still very high pressure. I liked this very much and find the contrast between 2004 freshness and acidity and the slightly exotic character of the fruit quite attractive.
It's surprisingly unevolved on day 2. I suspect this could be a 30 year wine, at least, and wish I had a lot of it.

Blind Champagne Tasting (Basanti in San Juan Capistrano, CA (South OC)): Disgorged November 2021, so a longggg time on the lees. 80% Chard and 20% Pinot Noir with no dose. The initial aromas on this was kinda weird, with a celery and white pepper, a little stinky. With air this becomes a lemony an spicy wine, with a lot of citrus peel that creates length. My challenge I had was the spicy aspect to the wine, an oily-ilke citrus. I would have loved to retaste this again today, and I just wonder if I have captured the wine properly.

consider this base 2015, disgorged February 2022, if it suits you!
savory, mineral, transparently flavored. Clarity and equilibration. Sharp raw edges govern glycerin. Salt; roasted root husk; nutty. Lemon. Green peppermint. Sour red lingonberry tannin.

La Fête du Champagne Grand Tasting (Pier Sixty - New York NY): Walkaround tasting with the producers. I surprised myself by tasting this Blanc de Noirs Brut Nature, and was shocked by how much I enjoyed it. Rich and ripe berries make dosage seem irrelevant, and the textures are bright and minerally. Very well balanced, very good.

Disgorged 02/21. Lemon-gold color. Saline on the nose, lemon, chalk and slight stone fruit. Crisp and fresh on the palate, with a long finish. Refreshing and fun, but not super complex. Quite good nonetheless.

Grande Champagne: Great acidity, fantastic tension, hugely complex, minerality and at the core a subtle sweetness that makes this wine not joyless despite the high acidity.
Great stuff and my WOTN.

It was not universally loved, some found the acidity too high.

Outstanding wine. 95-100

From glass. Mute, unexpressive nose. Palate of gingery and bready lemon. Perhaps served too cold, perhaps open for a ay or two too long. Ho-hum on the day.

Medium lemon colour. Small and medium lively bubbles. Medium (+) and developing nose with ripe green apples, ripe lemon, toast, biscuit, brioche, bread dough and wet stone. Medium (+) taste of ripe green apples, ripe lemon, brioche, biscuit, toast, bread dough and wet stone. Long and dry finish. High acidity. Medium body. A very good Brut Nature Champagne with good maturation. Needed 15 min in the glass to open. Drink now or over the next eight years. Goes well as an aperitif, or with shellfish.

2017 base with reserves. Disgorged January 2023 from about 5 years on the lees. No dose of 50% Chard, 44% PN and 6% PM in this version. The color here reminds me of Vilmart Emotion, the reflection of a salmon with just a touch of pink to lighten it. Opened yesterday. At that time, the wine seemed to be more lithe, elegant with red fruits. Saved plenty for today, to allow for a good study of the wine across both cool and room temps. When this is still energized with a cool temp, there is a tangy strawberry that carries the palate, along with a cleansing, mineral-laden finish. Letting this breathe and add some warmer temp, it becomes a bit more fleshy but not by a lot. Blood orange, grapefruit, a pure, tangy raspberry (Chambord comes to mind) and then a tart red apple shows up. The wine remains cleansing, persisting with its mineral profile. I believe some will attach the phrase 'drink with food', as I see that reference around Cellartracker with wines like this one. I can see how that could fit here, but the distinction to be made about this iteration of Rose Zero is for me more about 'bright, transparent flavor with a clean profile', and it's very good.
