Community Tasting Note

JRockEsq Likes this wine:

Saturday, June 5, 2021 - Method: chilled; bordeaux glass

Look: medium gold; light bubbles

Nose: brioche, cream, poached pear, vanilla, custard

Palate: white flower, pear, biscuit, lemon pith; medium+ finish of chalk, white flower; medium- super fine bubbles (great); medium- body; medium acidity

Overall thoughts: This is in a really good place right now. The bubbles have (presumably) mellowed and are wonderful right now, although, if you let this sit in the glass too long, you'll lose the bubbles and a lot of the acidity, and it will get just a bit fat/flabby. Keep this chilled and it will show very well. Paired great with caviar and blini, although, I'd probably want a bit more acid for more hearty foods like fried chicken. Great wine, but if you want to pair it with food, I might drink it fairly soon.
