Community Tasting Note

Saturday, September 19, 2015 - Sour calvados apple notes with a touch of flor-yeast, oxidative but round and walnutty; Very vibrant in the mouth with a rounder and denser mouthfeel than V.O. without the aggressive acidity. Excellent bubbles lasting a long time, very intense, really cool wine. Enjoyed this, reminded me slightly of Bollinger RD with the complexity, density, vinous/oxidative quality, but obviously very different wines.
BdB from 2 Avize GG sites, Solera started in 1986 ("erasing the effects of vintage and focussing on character"). This bottling: wines from 1986 to 2003, bottled in 2004, disgorged in 2014. Stainless steel and foudre both used in the solera.
