Community Tasting Note

May 1, 2020 - Very bready/yeasty with green sour apples and lime on the nose. Taste is similar, and rather sweet when taking the low dosage into account. Overall very simple. Not a memorable wine at all in my opinion, atleast not at this point (don't know if it'll get better). Reminds me of decent cremant. Hopefully the next bottle is more exciting.

I would wait a bit if you have decent storage of course. Contemplating a 2008 Moet this weekend if I can convince the wife that a Saturday in May is a special enough occasion!

Hope the 2008 was good. I have a few of those as well that I might try to get a proxy for the 2012 down the road. -

Two weeks ago it was when I got my next door neighbour's lawnmower running..............it demanded a bottle of Alfred Gratien's excellent NV to celebrate the event.
Today, I have just decanted a bottle of 2010 Sociando Mallet because it is a bit overcast and I have a piece of top-side slow-roasting in the oven (I don't let my good lady wife anywhere near my kitchen!). Happy days.
