Unusual but great-tasting BdB, but residual suger or dosage seems too high. Wonder why.

Very nice. Drank just a bit sweet to me, which was surprising. Nice citrus and green apple, yeasts, porcini mushrooms and long finish. Was best just at below cellar temp after being open for a while- when it’s vinousity was the focus.

Rich and well-supported by the dosage, more than held his own with a 2013 Taittinger Comtes.

A bit too much toast and short of acidity.
