Friday, May 9, 2014 - Spring Champagne Tasting (Binny's Highland Park, highland park IL): Nose: There is a real salinity and precision to the nose with loads of minerals, sea salt, white fruits, crushed rocks, pears, and some bits of citrus. The nose is almost steely and laser-like while providing medium+ depth.
Taste: Medium/light bodied with medium/high acidity. The feel and structure are almost a study in contrast with sea salt, crushed rocks, saline, and white fruits. The palate is almost too light and somewhat lacking.
Overall: I feel like a slightly higher dosage would've filled out the wine more. This is a very good wine, but it just doesn't have that extra gear to really get it going and is a bit too dainty.
