Vinetasters: Old Cabernet (Park Ridge, IL): Served double blind. Disgorged August 2017. Clearly Champagne and clearly a blend. Some tart apple. but also some nutty notes had me thinking this was 2002 rather than 2008 (the acidic profile isn't as sharp as I would have expected. Relatively low effervescence. Good weight and easily enjoyable.

No extensive notes, but this medium bodied bubbles drank beautifully today with toast, lemon, and plush stone fruit flavors. A perfect night at the Hollywood Bowl. Drink within the next decade.

Champagne blind tasting dinner. Little aroma in the nose, strict and precise palate, a 2008 in need of more stuffing.
