  WS Grand Tour (Walkaround Tasting) (New Orleans): I am a fan of 2012 Champagne but this one isn’t there yet for me. Probably needs some time to evolve.
  Right now very smooth and just fine but not special. Descriptors for me were honey and mushy fruit—as in the fruit wasn’t precise, more like applesauce and puréed pears.
  Don’t get me wrong, I would be happy to drink this all day if anyone poured for me, I just have higher expectations of the vintage.

  Easy drinker. Filled with honeycomb and toast. There’s more residual sugar than I’d like. Fruit is in the background if it’s there at all.

  With a bit of funk and reductive and powerful and sustained and amazingly delivery. Great stuff. The reductive character comes through strongly, deliciously. Of note.

  Solid champagne. Nice minerality. A tad sweet as it enter the palate it is rapidly balanced by its minerality and length.

  이전 내 판단을 조금 의심하게 되었다. 맥이 빠졌다기보다는 엣지가 없이 좀 두리뭉실하다는 표현이 어울릴 것 같다. 좋게 말하면 그만큼 폭 넓게 어필할 수 있는 잘 만든 샴페인이라는 얘기도 된다. 지난번 보다 맛있게 마셨고 역시 샴페인 시음이 어렵다는 생각을 다시하게 되었다.
