Wednesday, June 29, 2022 - Night out in Covent Garden (Noble Rot and 10 Cases) (Noble Rot / 10 Cases, London): Recently disgorged. This was about the nicest bottle of this Cuvee I have tried so far though. It was quite lovely on an early summer's evening. Nice nose, with red apples and sweet flowers, along with a slightly riper hint of stone fruit aromas, these sprinkled with some spice - anise I thought. The palate was round and ripe, with sweet apples and ripe lemons at the fore, but still came across nicely controlled and balanced, with decent enough acidity and some minerality as the wine stretched away into a surprisingly long finish. Mousse was fine enough, though not what you would call refined. Overall, a delicious Champagne in a rounder, riper style. Not subtle, but certainly but not in-your-face either. Very yummy and quaffable with our food.
