| Community Tasting Notes (average 87.5 pts. and median of 87 pts. in 2 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by Oh Dae-su on 3/13/2012 & rated 89 points: My first impression was: strong and vivid bubbles. Yes, of course 2009 is still too young for a very pleasant bender ;-), but that is what curiosity gets you to. Whatever, the mousse and perlage appeared very juvenile and full of juice! Probably in its teens by now! The nose showed clear and genuine scents of red stewed apples, fresh pressed lemon juice, hints of mild mint and medium done fresh baked biscuits. The same for the nose: very infantile and defiant, but altogether rather promising. What a surprise! Alert, teenage condition for the taste as well! It was very crisp, got rough acid– due to the age – and was full of sparkle and life. At the same time pretty feminine and maybe petulant, too. Maybe like a female wrestler or boxer. The well proportionate body gives this one a very promising future. Not as filigree or skinny as many other Blanc de Blanc bubbles. The flavour shows plenty of red apples, fresh and sour lemon, hints of cinnamon babka and tons of lemon pie. The only minor problem appeared in the morning after. The 7.9g/l residual sugar gave me a dried and unpleasant candy deposit on my palatal. In conclusion a very reasonably priced and very well produced Chardonnay fizz. Unfortunately a bit too young, but that was my fault. Wait a year and you’ll have something great. (979 views) |
