Saturday, April 7, 2018 - Salil does Chicago 4; 4/6/2018-4/7/2018 (Chicago, IL): An extremely rich and powerful bottle of champagne. This really got better as it got more air, but it's also quite important to keep the temperature down, as this is clearly a far riper vintage and that ripeness gets to you a bit more when the wine is warmed up. The nose shows mature chardonnay aromas, and a pretty generous amount of breadiness. The ripeness shows in that the fruit character here seems extremely sweet. The palate is quite similar in those respects, but there's plenty of acidity to cut through everything. I picked up a little bit of nuttiness (sans oxidation -- this is as fresh as it comes), but that's pretty much the way I'd expect an older chardonnay to show.
