Community Tasting Note

Friday, October 11, 2013 - Light yellow color. Fine never ending streams of bubbles. Nice mousse. On the nose, wet mountain, slate, opening up later to slight candied ginger. I drank this in two sessions first, right after opening and very chilled. Second, room temp about 3-4 hours later. First tasting was tight and hidden. Wet stone, huge minerality, key lime and lime zest dominated, almost bitter. Second tasting opened up some. Still huge minerality, some yellow fruits, ginger. Finish was quite short on the first tasting but lasted and eternity once it opened up. Too bad what lasted was bitterness, almost grapefruit pith.

Overall, a very interesting and different Champagne. Not my style though. I am missing that cream and toastiness. I would maybe try again in 10+years to see how it has developed but for now I will stick to different vintages.
