Community Tasting Note

Friday, December 6, 2019 - Came out pretty much top of the heap out of a 2006 horizontal (CdC, DP white & rose, Grande Dame white & rose, Dom Ruinart blanc, Cristal, Salon, Vilmart CdC & Rubis, Krug and Krug-162). Drinking exceptionally well with upside: showing some of the power the vintage without being OTT. Got 6/6 votes in the Blanc de Blancs flight both on opening and with 90 mins air - in the current market context of a 6pack of this costing what a bottle of Salon does...

I've had 06 Krug, DP, and LGD before and know how those rank in my mind. To hear that this was unanimously better is great to know from a buyer's perspective. Thanks again, sounds like one heck of a tasting
