Xmas Wimps 2022 (La Trompette): Rich, golden, oxidative with bruised apples and more plushness than I remember. This was delicious and I kept going back for more.

Dégorgé 2011 PnP - Apple, apple and more apple! Pours a deep golden yellow with fine mousse. At first I thought this tasted 100% Pinot Meunier because of all the overtones of apple; however, the wine is PN and Chardonnay. Besides the dominance of ripe red apple and calvados, there is distinct underlying malolactic acid.
After a few hours of air the champagne flavours round out and integrate to a delightful mature wine of fuller body with brioche, yellow and red apple; good length and aftertaste. Plenty of years left for cellaring but ready to drink now.

Bright, youthful color, good weight, nice bubbles and a good finish. On a hot, humid night, this went very well. Drink/hold.
