Community Tasting Note

Wednesday, May 8, 2013 - Moet Hennessey USA tasting (The Graham Georgetown): Superb stuff, but you already knew that. It's interesting how this Œothèque version of the '96 takes the classic Dom profile and puts it in an even more bright, bracing, and precise package -- Champagne cut like diamonds -- and consequently, I think, probably a few years behind in the maturity curve than the regular '96 has been in terms of its freshness, even as it's picked up the typical flint-and-gunmetal mineral element that these usually need a few years of bottle age to develop. The aromatics on this are just soaring, a no-doubter as soon as you pass your nose in the vicinity of the glass that this is going to be wide-open and expressive, and it is.
