Never drank a bottle of champagne by myself before. Friday evening, in the backyard, Gin Blossoms playing, still kind of warm out. Full bodied and sticky and gritty, then hit with a bite of lemongrass and citrus. Just took a bite of mushy ripe cantaloupe and prosciutto with toast. Now pizza dough and lemon rind. Shit the wife has joined me, bottle gone. Experience 95 pts.

Decanted and enjoyed a few glasses. Not ready! Still a little tannic and disjointed. Lots of nice pit fruit that should show more over time. Every time I open a quality 2010 Brunello that I think I’ve given enough time I’m proven wrong. Wait

Nice bottle! A little warm for only 13%. Raspberries and ripe plum, little of that blueberry kicker. Could be super interesting in 3-5 years
