Community Tasting Note

Thursday, February 25, 2010 - Dinner with the Monthly Group (Park Palace, Grand Park Hotel): Putting my DP bias aside, this was actually really nice. Better than the last time I tried it six months ago at any rate. Lovely nose. Yeast, earth, white fruits, dusky strawberry tones - far deeper, and far more expressive than the Roederer Brut NV that preceded it. Mousee was fine, almost indistinct. Palate had plenty of biscuit and caramel notes, overlaid with a dry, structured spine and juicy acidity, and laced through with mineral and lots of juicy strawberry fruit and flowery top notes. A very expressive wine in true DP fashion. The dry minerally finish had decent length and closed the wine off rather nicely. Lacks complexity, as I noted with the last bottle, but this was well-balanced and delicious. Not a sophisticated lady, this was more like your playboy playmate gone legit. Still though, quite a pleasure to drink.
