Community Tasting Note

Wednesday, December 15, 2004 - WSET Diploma Tasting Portfolio.
App: Clear, pale gold with narrow watery rim. Fine, persistent bubbles.
Nose: Clean, pronounced and developed with attractive slight oxidation and complex aromas of biscuit, yeast, citrus fruit and notes of honey and coconut.
Palate: Dry and medium bodied, with smalll, intense, persistent mousse. Pronounced intensity with ripe citrus fruit and green apples overlain with attractive yeasty/biscuity notes. The attractive, slightly oxidised characters are again noticeable as are the notes of honey on a long finish which is nicely balanced by the medium +/crisp acidity. Nicely integrated dosage, overall rich, attractive and complex.
Conclusion: An excellent quality vintage champagne, drinking nicely now but with the structure and fruit concentration to develop further complexity over the next 2-5 years.
