Same comments as before. Bright red fruit. Soft tannins. Nice soft, smooth mouthfeel. Holding together very well. — 10 months ago
Excellent 08. Chave and Allemand really nailed the difficult vintage in Northern Rhône, and 2008 Hermitage is showing beautifully tonight, fresh, elegant and detailed with aromas of juicy red berry fruit, bacon, roasted herbs and smoky minerals. While not an exceptionally deep and concentrated rendition in 2008, it’s really a considerable success, and it’s fully open, giving and ready to drink. — 7 months ago

This is a delicious Champagne from the great 2008 vintage.
Light yellow in color with a golden hue.
Medium plus in body with small bubbles and medium plus acidity.
Dry on the palate with a nice mouthfeel. Elegant and complex.
Showing bruised apples, yeast, citrus, brioche, spices, minerals, sea salt, light river rocks, earth and white pepper.
Long finish with limes and almonds.
This 15 year old Champagne is rich and very enjoyable by itself or with food.
Nicely balanced and concentrated, with nice complexity and mouthfeel.
Thank you Scott for sharing this with me.
I paired it with light appetizers.
12.5% alcohol by volume.
92 points.
$100. — 2 years ago

I am not sure Dom is my jam. The overt amount of fruit and yeasty bread is a little too intense for me. — 18 days ago
