Tuesday, October 4, 2016 - Tim + Ching Birthday 2016 (Extra Space): Bottle disgorged July 2015.
Appearance is clear, medium intensity, gold colour with a just a slightest tinge of pink. Coarse persistent bubbles.
Nose is oxidative, with aromas of nuts, brioche, bruised red apple, citrus lemon, apricot, honey. Developing.
On the palate, dry, high acidity, medium alcohol, (12.5%), medium body. Medium flavour intensity, with flavours of bruised red apple, citrus lemon, chalky minerality, honey, apricots, brioche. Long finish.
Very good quality. Lots of richness and depth as befitting a serious Blanc de Noirs. But I really feel this was still tight at the moment. Better with more air, but what a waste drinking it now. Should have allowed more bottle age development.
