Community Tasting Note

Monday, September 28, 2009 - Masters of Wine Champagne Tasting (San Francisco, CA): Moderate yellow color. Relatively large bubbles with a persistent fizz. Yeasty apple nose. Delicate palate with lovely apple, spice, oak, and lemon flavors. Light-to-medium bodied. Medium-long finish. There’s definitely elegance here, but it’s hesitant. My one complaint with young Dom is that it’s too light and simple when young. The 2000 vintage is slightly fuller than I recall other recent Dom vintages, but overall it’s still too light for my taste. Far more time aging is needed. In my mind, at this price any Champagne should not only have great aging potential but should also be far more drinkable while still relatively young. Nonetheless, a truly excellent wine and perhaps the best young Dom I can recall.
