Saturday, July 25, 2009 - Phil's MONUMENTAL 33rd Birthday Wine Tasting (Knightsbridge Wine Shop (Northbrook, IL)): From a magnum. A fantastic wine from a fantastic vintage in Champagne.
Lively bubble structure. Star bright golden color.
Bright yellow flowers, wet slate with laser like minerality.
Fresh peaches and tangerines on the nose with honeyed melon, mangos and other citrus.
Flavors of lightly roasted almonds, caramelized sherry, cloves and white pepper. Both tropical and citrus notes on the tongue.
Layers of pineapple, honey, vanilla, all sorts of apples, kiwi and cantaloupe. The notes are absolutely endless.
Palate is seamless sporting a perfectly balanced finish - the most complexity and layers I have ever experienced in a sparkling wine.
I cannot imagine a better Champagne. This was the perfect way to start the most incredible tasting I've ever attended.
