December 21, 2018 - Les Barres vertical for 冬至 (Chicago, IL): In a word, awesome. I've really loved how all the grower 2009s have turned out. The riper vintage really gives lots of balance to a style that I think is generally too lean (Chartogne-Taillet is an exception to that though). There's tons of intensity to this wine -- lots of delicious sweet fruit that is nicely balanced by the acids. Great complexity, and with air, this actually picked up some really delicious autolytic biscuity notes. Fantastic champagne -- I'm so glad I went deep on this vintage.
