Roederer Estate
Brut
Anderson Valley, North Coast, California, USA
Bought from a local cellar. Label was faded and from a time period I wasn’t sure of, so after reaching out to Roederer, they confirmed it was probably 10-15yrs of age.
Still a respectable amount of spritz after removing the cork. Poured gold in the glass. Faint bubbles. I expected it to be DOA, but I was caught off guard at how lively this was! If poured blind, old champagne would not be a crazy call. Brioche, espresso and nutty/oxidized aromatics, with aged champagne type character on the palate. Great texture. Caramel, toffee, golden raspberries, and distinct truffle honey! Wish they all tasted like this.
This was probably $15 when released? They are a good deal these days around $20, but an insane value with age.

Heavy biscuit/toast taste, pretty good although nothing stands out
