Community Tasting Note

Saturday, April 16, 2005 - This is the reason to age champagne. This bottle was part of a recent auction purchase from AMC, and the previous owner clearly took good care of it. Just a lazy stream of tiny bubbles and a mild prickle on the tongue, so this drink is more wine than champagne. Extraordinary complex aromas and flavors inclluding overcooked apples, cinnnamon, nutmeg, walnuts and citrus. But it's not dessert and the finish is emphatically tangy butterscotch. No change in the glass for over two hours. Amazing complexity and interest. Dramatically different than young Comtes which is delicious in a different way. Great match for the seared diver scallops with linguine in a lobster stock reduction. To drink now.
