This was tasted prior to the JohnnyB (VinoCellar) offline dinner and during the sushi course (June 2003). Tasted out of Riedel Sommelier stems (I really like the shape of these stems, nice).

Malty dough, caramel, hazelnuts and more. I'm not great at writing up TNs for champagne, but this one was really quite good and it has developed some really complexity and character. It was great on its own especially, and paired well with the first part of my sushi.

Also, my TN descriptors are an amalgam of all of us who drank the juice.

I am not very good at assigning points to champagne, but this was darned good and I say it rates easily 93 points on the TJ-champagne scale.
