2004 Blanc de Blancs Champagnes (Grappe, Stockholm): Nose: herbal notes, some nuts, hints of red berries, yellow fruit, spice, some development. Palate: medium bodied, very dry, apple including winter apples, high acidity, some bitterness, some development, rather lean. Summary: came acros as rather developed, and somewhat divering in its aromas compared to the rest. The nose actually made me think of a dry Chenin Blanc from Loire, such as a Savennières. Definitely has class, but I'm a bit hesitating if I like this style - l'Amateur should probably be drunk younger and with more freshness than this, at least in most vintages. I finally end up at 89 p.

Som ofta, en inital banandoft som övergår till en citrusdominans. Har inte druckit 04 L'Amateur förut men håller den nog snäppet över den 05 jag drack tidigare.. Tillgänglig nu, ren och frisk. Fungerade bäst av de två vinerna till maten.

Light and airy like a butterfly... peach perfume... short, crisp finish.

SUPER-ren! Klar frisk pære og citrus. Med luft overmodne pærer og æbler, anis og bananskræl. Pisselækkert!
