Community Tasting Note

Friday, April 4, 2014 - Very pale straw color. Tons of fine bubbles, like some sort of hyper-Champagne. Smells of green apples, grapefruit pith, mixed with limestone, almond shell, some sea salt… wow. Very complex on the palate, tart and fresh, with green apple peel, grapefruit, sea shells, quinine, sweet tart candies. Very tangy and mineral driven… not overdone or heavy on the biscuits. I get some sea brine notes, and that’s not just because this is called the Ocean Reserve. Chalky, limestone on the finish… One of the bubbliest bubblies I’ve had in a long time. I’ve enjoyed Iron Horse, but I rarely get excited about their bubblies. This, however, is one of the best wines I’ve had from them. Note: this is labeled as a Blanc de Blancs.
