Champagne at FMIII's: -- bottle opened the day before the tasting -- -- 100% Chardonnay -- -- April 2022 disgorgement -- -- No dosage --
This note is based off a small pour -- no more than half an ounce to an ounce. Completely still at this point. Austere, and extremely shy. Soft and reserved apple note. Second time tasting this wine, and this reminded me of the bottle I had a few months back: this wine is far from obvious; it plays hard to get. You have to chase this down, as opposed to waiting for it to come to you.

Biscuit, bruised apple, sharp acidity but still well balanced, the mousse is fine and the finish is lingering with vibrant acidity.

Double Fisted Champagne at Frank's: Checking Recent Buys AND Something Drinking Great Now (Frank Murray's Casa): Another bottle opened the previous evening. Light salmon color. Pleasing nose showing a note of peach. The palate on the other hand was unforgiving and nearly mute. Touch grippy. Just not enough fruit to prop up the lack of dosage.

I have been overwhelmed about this wine, brut nature and pure Chardonnay , still a youngster but delicious and thrilling to enjoy.
