  Went down too fast for rating, developed, but fresh and tasty, maybe a bit weak fruit. Will drink next one fairly soon.

  Great blanc de blancs, which isn’t typically my thing. 12.5%

  2008 Champagne - 25 top names tasted blind: This was served non blind as the aperitiv. I really liked it. Expressive nose with brioche, precise palate, enough stuffing, long finish.

  Champagne and Pinot Noir WIMPS #168 31st August 2023 (La Trompette, Chiswick): This is an interesting wine with an apple paté de fruits character to the nose, a couple of ppm of blueberry. A certain appliness to the palate as well. The bubbles vanish fairly quickly. Although no suggestion of oxidation it feels older than the 2002 Vieilles Vignes de Chardonnay from the same house it is served with. Pleasant enough but not at quite that level for me.

  NOSE: yeasty; rich; slightly-bruised yellow apple.
  
  BODY: light maize color; light-to-medium-light bodied.
  
  TASTE: quite dry, but simultaneously rich; some pleasant aged character creeping in -- light autolytic notes. Wow! Really truly fantastic!!
