Community Tasting Note

Friday, January 15, 2021 - A memorable gathering (BRX American Bistro - Great Falls, VA): Beautiful fully mature nose displaying subtle yet decadent yellow fruit, apricot preserve, baked apple, fresh apple juicy, brioche, crème brulee, sweet spices and honey. Fully integrated palate, very finely layered sweet yellow fruit, medium fine medium abundant mousse, warm and round, fluid and refined, medium acidity and subtle mineral, and a seamless long subtle sweet yellow fruit driven finish with honey and sweet spices at the end. My first experience with the 88 Collection. Perhaps not as fresh and energetic as the well cellared regular 88 Krug but showing beautiful harmony, complexity and elegance. Like a beautiful mature white wine but not white Burgundy/Chadonnay. It opens up beautifully with air, becoming harmonious, sweet and complex. I will need to revisit soon.
