The story repeats. Just like Brut 2006, this wine needs time to open up. Frankly speaking, my tasting skills are lacking and I need at least half of the bottle and at least an hour to figure out everything (I can figure out).

Initially, it's restrained but the taste blows me away to the blessed land. With time it reveals notes of orange oil, tarragon, smoke, red berries, red apples, wet wood, caramel and barberry candies. It's so silky that it reminds me of nitrogen-infused beverages. It's delicate, detailed and multilayered. But it's also intense and almost full-bodied. The aftertaste is long, evolving and flavourful. Grapefruit, oil and wet cellar. It's just so great that I want to repeat it.
