Monthly tasting - Cabernet Sauvignon / Blends (JM (SL)): Tasted blind. Rich and opulent on the nose and the palate, rounded acidity has been balanced by a reasonable dosage. Not much in the way of autolytic notes. Guessed that this was a Pinot Noir-dominant vintage Champagne, revealed as a NV BdB. An enjoyable Champagne, retail ~AUD 90 - at its price point, it is a little bit more ready to drink compared to a Bollinger NV or Charles Heidsieck NV, which from memory are a little bit more energetic acidwise and probably need a bit more time to round out.
