Community Tasting Note

  January 22, 2021 - Opened while listening to Biden's inauguration speech.
  
  Powerful Champagne, bright effervesence, tart appley. At first pour it's harsh and needs more time and/or air. I look forward to following this over the course of the day. It showed best from a Zalto Champagne glass which masked the harshness and emphasized the minerality.
  
  Some lovely floral notes emerged over the course of the first hour.
  
  A few hours later it's showing best from a Zalto Universal but still not expressing all that much. Disappointing.
  
  Day 2: better but still pretty tightly wound. Impressively long finish.
  
  Day 3: Finally!
  This is a fantastic Champagne which obviously needs a lot of time. It now displays an explosive melding of huge rocks, chalk and sweet citrus fruit.
  But rather than open my remaining bottles 2 days in advance I think I'll just let them sit for a few years.
