Community Tasting Note

Tuesday, February 9, 2021 - This was the first bottle of this vintage I’ve had which has entered a mature stage with lots of creamy caramel and nutty notes. Clearly the best bottle yet and just so irresistible, this bottle is a strong reminder not to touch any 2008s for at least 10 years. This wine was quite perfect with lots of complexity, a wonderful precision and a fresh yet wonderfully soft and creamy structure.

TN: Intense, sexy nose full of caramel, brioche, nutty notes, citrus. Very precise and harmonious. Sensational palate with layers of brioche, bakery, toast, caramel, nutty aromas, underlying a nice citrus and apple component that helps to lift the creamy structure together with a perfectly integrated acidity. Far from being on a downhill path this wine is fresh and light, full of tension and creaminess and with a long and beautiful finish.

Decanting: No decanting needed.

Glass: Lehmann Grand Champagne
