Community Tasting Note

94 Points

Monday, January 28, 2013 - A blockbuster champagne. Still crisp and powerful with strong citrus tones. Green apple also dominates with some hints of vanilla, mushroom, and cinnamon. The structure and complexity are amazing on this wine. This will easily accommodate most appetizers and would hold up to many main courses, particularly chicken and fish. There is absolutely no hollowness in the mid-pallet with a robust finishing length. Some may even find this too strong. This is not a delicate prosecco summer sipper. Serious champagne for wine connoisseurs. This is still a youngster. Will benefit from more years in the cellar if you can be patient. Slightly out of balance which might account for a young tasting.
