Community Tasting Notes 9

  July 20, 2022 - Still incredibly fine as it gently rubs against your tongue, although certainly past its prime. Remarkable acidity with the butter, citrus, and slight oxidization notes. Very long finish that stays with you through the evening. Maybe I like Champagne after all!! Score adjusted down a bit to reflect the condition

  February 18, 2022 - Initial appearance and nose are a bit Maderized, with notes of Manzanilla sherry and caramel apple. There is mouthwatering acidity, bracing even. The wine is alive and pleasurable, but it takes a bit of time to come around. 30 mins or so after opening there is butter, toffee, dehydrated lemon peel and Yuzu marmalade. It made a stellar pairing with some smoked crudo and frito misto. That said, it falls off a cliff pretty swiftly thereafter, with the entry/front palate being completely washed out after about ~1.5 hours.

  May 8, 2015 - Classic Pinot dominated champagne. Pear, apple, toast and brioche on the nose. After it opened up a bit, there is a hint of strawberry. Fine mousse, epically high acidity, intense richness.

  January 12, 2014 - At Loek Habbema's birthday party, January 5th 2014,
  A very fine mousse, very subtle and perfectly balanced.

  August 7, 2012 - Disgorged in 1999 and certainly had plenty of vegemite yeast autolysis action. It had some caramel oxidation and also grilled nuts and bread notes.
