Community Tasting Note

  June 8, 2018 - Corton vs Corton: Deep and characterful - this was a really nicely aged Champagne. The nose had a deep oxidative lilt to it, almost rancio, but with a rich waft of toasty yellow fruit, honey and caramel tones pulling underneath. Bubbles had all but gone on the palate, but the wine was still lively and impeccably balanced, with a warm glow of honeyed tones and ever-so-slightly oxidative yellow fruit. There was just a little kiss of warmth and spice right at the very end that drew out the finish. Idiosyncractic, as many wines at this age would be, but this was an old charmer.
