Community Tasting Note

Sunday, June 26, 2022 - Very surprised here. Giving this the same rating as Dom 2010, but for different reasons. While the Dom was elegant, effervescent, balanced, this was enjoyable in a different way. If Dom was the velvet glove, this is the iron fist. It had a medium body with a very assertive mouthfeel and huge toasted brioche notes. Some tree fruit flavors underneath. Acid and bubbles could have been a but higher, but this was very enjoyable and was great QPR at $40. Will probably go for this when I'm looking for affordable NV bubbles.
