Brut Champagne Blend

First taste of 2015. Very young but very open!

Fat! Bright bold fruit. I love it

Amazing what a good champagne can taste like at 11 years. Completely fresh and crisp with just a slight softness. Delicious! As far as value, let’s not go there.

Gentle wild strawberry and limestone. Really delicate and fragrant and delicious. So pretty and poised. I’d guess this is at peak

Sift in the nose with light lime and limestone and floral notes. A nice integrated spine of acid. Great balance and delicious right now

Lean and bright. Light and mineral with real precision. Quite austere. Should age really well

Slate and lean fruit. Quite light and focused. Bright and punchy.

Not Warhol. Lemon and slate. Plush fruit. Good stuff

This was opened and we enjoyed a few glasses before recorking and reapproaching 24 hours later, at which point it was really singing. Yellow peach, pear and medley of orchard fruit, layered with pressed yellow flowers, dried persimmon, and notes of vanilla and bourbon. So delicate. Such fine bubbles. Saltwater taffy and some caramel and rock salt on the palate. Subtle tannic echo. Mesmerizing.
