Wednesday, September 17, 2014 - Rockstar Champagne... like, all of them (E&R Wine Shop, Portland OR): Most certainly smells like Dom... which is admittedly a house style I'm not to keen on, and this Oenothèque is no different. The nose is very expressive and smells of rancid oak. Luscious but funky and totally in your face. Better on the palate, which is luscious, but there's still a strong wood note that's a little bitter and harsh. Odd lingering notes of wood funk, spice, and bitterness. Rich minerality, but not pleasant.
