Community Tasting Notes 12

  April 7, 2023 - The second of 4 magnums from the Zachy's auction in June 2021. Deep golden color with tiny bubbles gliding to the surface. Somewhat restrained on the nose at first. Within a 1/2 hour, a beautiful nose of grapefruit, brioche with a just a hint of mushroom emerges. Still amazingly fresh with plenty of life ahead. I purchased many bottles of the '90 Champagne vintage on release including a case of the "2000 Millenium Selection" Brut, which was fantastic. While delicious young, many '90 Champagnes have not stood the test of time in my opinion (e.g., 1990 Cristal was fabulous circa 1999, but not so much by 2010). In contrast, this wine has only gotten better with age. Looking forward to comparing my next bottle to a magnum of '96 Cuvée Winston Churchill.

  March 21, 2015 - What treat a deep golden color with a soft bead. A wonderful balance. Elegant and very light on its feet. Notes of mushroom and almonds. Seemless and lasting finish. I better understand the " broad" quality they strive for in their wines. This bottle was appropriate as it was in honor of jeffs bday and Chris's anniversary of stopping smoking

  March 20, 2015 - Opened by Mark from magnum. Disgorged in 1999. Clear yellow color. Herbally mushroom nose. This had a nice grip to it. Notes of vanilla, hazelnut , green apple and peaches with a creamy finish. Full bodied and lush. Very coherent and deep. Drinking well but will continue to show well. 96 points
