Community Tasting Note

Sunday, January 1, 2012 - Bright pop, good flanged cork, amber color, fine and strong bead of bubbles. The nose was a hint of orange and musk. The taste was very dry with the dominant flavors of leather and cedar wood, raw wheat kernels. Not your usual champagne. The finish was very long with wood and lemon peel sitting on the tongue for 30 seconds. The flavor was more pronounced in a Riedel style rounded bottom flute than a v-bottomed flute. Also, as the chill disappeared, the flavors became markedly more pronounced, as one would expect, so temperature can be used to up or down the intensity of the wood and leather. Drink only after your bored with good champagne and don't mind spending the money. The wine also tastes young so this one can cellar for many years.
