1996 Salon Champagne Blanc de Blancs Brut Chardonnay
50th Birthday Bash: An absolute treat to taste this side by side with the '95 Krug. This is in stark contrast to the Krug since it is a Blanc de Blancs. Incredible freshness and acidity with an almost creamy texture and tiny, TINY bubbles. Loved it.

This wine was clear and rust in colour. It had a nose of honey, caramel and some citrus. It the glass were flavours of honey, caramel, peach and and apricots. The viscosity in this was very evident and this was a lovely sweet wine.

Special International tasting group (@ Zarzo, Eindhoven, The Netherlands): In the bouquet dark berries and asphalt. Overall a mouth full of dark fruit impressions, very firm and a bit raw, but also very juicy and really complex and beautiful. Still in the young stage of its beautiful complexity. Beautiful acidity and tannin.

Tasted blind. This was very hot on the palate, like right bank from a ripe vintage. The good news is, that it is not oxidative. The ripenessa nd extraction comes at the cost of the complexity though, feels a bit commercial. The palate has nice, puchy Italian tannins to balance the fruit. I am not a fan of Super Tuscans but this is well made.

Big and bold. Unashamedly modern and super-plush. Deep inky plummy fruit, spicebox, vaillapods and a touch of hoisin.... all wonderfully backed-up and balanced by only a pinch of Italian acidity.
Must admit I liked this better than expected...!
