Community Tasting Note

    April 16, 2022 - I really was curios about this one, as I only had fully ripe PR Winston two or three times so far. When drinking premium champagne, it almost always is DP or Ruinart. So I wasn’t quite sure, what to expect here.

    It started very cidre like, probably an artisanal cidre or so. But when opening an almost 25y old champagne, you know that the gustatory footprint can change dramatically within 20-30 minutes. Well, it wasn’t that dramatically in the end. It improved quite a bit and was rather lively with a smooth and enjoyable perlage. The cidre core gained brioche and nut elements. Nonetheless I wished for more complexity, or at least a less dominant cidre core.

    Nice experience, but no need to restock (particularly since prices have doubled since release).
