Community Tasting Note

Saturday, June 4, 2011 - 30th Birthday Bash at Bern's Steak House (Bern's Steak House, Tampa, FL): My first ever vintage Champagne, and it did not disappoint. First of all, the bottle is pretty bad a$$; a big black magnum with gold etching. The wine itself had aromas of white chocolate mousse, lemon rind, wet stone, and some baked apple pie crust. The palate was full of so much life for a 21-yo sparkler. I got a lot of distinct citrus flavors from the palate. The finish was quite long, pushing nearly a minute, indicative of the excellent acidity that buttressed the flavors suggested by the nose and palate. Truly a wonderful wine. If I was scoring, 92-95, though I have -0- frame of reference for vintage Champagne.
