Community Tasting Note

Sunday, February 25, 2024 - Amazing how consistent this is. Had the 04, 08 and 12 the last 6 or so months and must they, they've all been bangers and punched way above their weight class.

Followed over a few hours. Was better the first hour or so. After that complexity died off and acidity took over. Was best 30 minutes after opening: 96 points. Then kinda got a tad wonky and dropped to 91. Hence a generous 93.

Based on how this bottle was so so so so so much less inspiring over time I'm wondering what's going on. The other vintages didn't do this and got better over time. Damn. This sucks. Will see what happens down the road but I won't rebuy.

Regardless, a great champagne. Feels to be in a very open drinking window. Will it get better? Not sure, perhaps but no need to sit on these and deny yourself the pleasure. Drink as often as possible and with Peter (me!).

These and Egly have become my favorite champagne behind Argonne and Henri G in general.
