Community Tasting Note

Sunday, November 6, 2016 - The "Clos" dinner - aka Burgundies from Clos, or "walled" plots (Bar-a-Thym, Singapore): Fourth time out with this wine, and one can now clearly see a great Champagne fully hitting its stride. The nose has really opened up over the years, fanning out of the glass this time round with rich aromas of strawberries, cream and flowers. Really nice. The palate felt very fine and clear, with a gentle sense of insistent power and quiet complexity underlying the wine's clean and nicely detailed flavours of berries and sweet cirtus pips, all this leading down into a long mineral finish. There was a nice balance and still a sense of a gentle mousse wrapping around the palate, so that the wine came across in a superbly whole and integrated mouthful. A lovely Champagne, at a beautiful place for dirnking now.
