April 18, 2024 - Blind Champagne Tasting (Basanti in San Juan Capistrano, CA (South OC)): Disgorged October 2017. Roughly 3/4 PN and 1/4 Chard. I kept wanting to say savory in my notes, Not to mean lean or negative in tone, but that a savory, earthy sense was in the wine. Apple and salinity. Have some leftover from last night so I have the good fortune to retaste again and improve my note here...

April 17, 2024 - April Basanti (blind): Blind. Would never have guessed Marguet since the last few Marguets (different bottlings) I tasted had a lot more oak treatment.
Something like pencil shavings on the nose. Yellow raspberries, yellow apples, an a saline note. Some maturity coming across, but this has aged gracefully. Nice acidity and overall balance. -

April 17, 2024 - Wednesday Champagnes at Basanti: Served blind. Two mature wines in a row? Its just going to be one of those tastings. Compelling nose. Dense with integrated honey and apples. Showing in a mature way. Clean palate. Well integrated with tart acidity. Marguet wins this one. I don't think gambling on aging wines with sulfur adds is a winning bet, this one is doing fine. Very well in fact. Nice wine.

August 21, 2023 - High quality. Despite the age and being 5 years post disgorgement this was still very much on the lean and acidic side. Just about balanced out with a nice toastiness . Super dry and rocky. Long finish.4-
