Something for the Jasper Hill Farms, “Willoughby.”
I am not much for Brut these days. Prefer Extra Brut. But I had this 375ml left before I shifted gear’s.
Having said that, this is still very sound and consistent. Think I enjoyed it more once upon a time. It seems sweeter now having a steady stream of EB.
Nice mousse. Lemon, lime pulp w/ a bit flesh, Bosc pear, red apple, yellow stone fruits, tropical fruits, quince, ginger, whipped creams, graham cracker, nougat, light & soft volcanic minerals, nice chalk powder, sea fossils, gentle saline, yellow flowers & lilies with hints of jasmine, pleasant, lively acidity, good balance, structure-tension & a smartly polished elegant finish that lasts 90 seconds and long sets on white spice-ginger.
2015 base, 2021 disgorged. Stunning out of the gate, fabulous concentration, aromas bursting from the glass. Worth the tariff on allocation, secondary pricing is bananas…. — 22 days ago
I don’t know what’s going on with this app but it seems that my posts are taking 1-2 days to show up??!! Their tech support also does not respond. Is anyone else having issues? Anyway the Dom is always very good — 20 hours ago
Very indulgent champagne with overripe fruit and balance. Joy to drink and amazing packaging...for similar money i prefer an aged DP or a Krug — 4 days ago
