Community Tasting Note

TWSA Likes this wine:

Wednesday, April 17, 2024 - Nose: oat, honey, caramel, white flowers, citrus oil, red date, toasted nuts, wild berries, mango, candied fruit, dried fig, white chocolate, bruised apple, peach, chestnut cake
Notes: disgorged January 2020. In golden-yellow color this has an absolutely explosive palate with intense acidity upon the first pour. Decanting this Champagne is probably the only choice in order to release the potential of this wine. The aftertaste lingers with its fine bubbles as the potential of the wine unveils with a bit of breathing. The second pour already showed significant improvement and I suspect this bottle has the ability to live on for decades more. This is regarded by many as a 100 pointer wine with a good reason, I also find this to be one of the most intense and sophisticated Champagne I've tasted yet I find this wine to be a little young to appreciate fully now. This is a fantastic bottle and I would suggest readers to decant the bottle for at least two hours before consuming. Stepping into the third hour this is drinking like a very nice bottle of white with an intoxicating nose and a well structured palate.
