Community Tasting Note

  May 12, 2014 - I've had two bottles with varying disgorgement dates recently, last night's was 5/16/2012 and another back on Christmas that was 4/16/2010. Liked them both very much, though they showed quite different profiles. The 2010-DG bottle had a considerably more matured profile, perhaps a bit more than it should, along with some notable oxidative notes. But it was still sharp and deep, and very beautiful with a breakfast of buttery scrambled eggs and white truffle shavings. The 2012-DG from last night was considerably fresher than even 2yrs less bottle age would suggest, with an assertive Pinot noir profile that leaned toward the red fruited end of the spectrum on the palate. Rich and vibrant, but very precise and seamless all the way through the lengthy finish. No oxidative notes on the younger bottle. Among the better QPRs I've come across, and I need to buy more!
