Tuesday, December 30, 2008 - champagne night (binny's highland park): nose: very good crisp and clean nose filled with citrus tones, minerals, vanilla extract, and a nice core of red and green apples. Really good depth with a touch of class too on the nose that was missing from other NVs at the tasting
taste: great medium feel with red and green apples dominating along with bits of minerals and yeast along with some slight tones of vanilla extract. Excellent depth that doesn't normally come from a NV wine all that often
overall: an outstanding bubbly and a great NV. Excellent depth and medium+ acidity to allow for further aging with a great nose. this is a really high quality NV and one to buy when one wants to spend under $50 for a really good champagne
