1997 Extended Tirage Brut Tasting Notes
The aroma is immediately of plum fruit with a hint of roasted hazelnut and honey. A nice yeast character rounds out the complexity with aromas of mom's baked pie crust and a bit of that French "sur bois" character with a twist of Oregon boletas mushroom. The palate of the E.T. is special and plum fruit packed! The hazelnut shines through with viscous, gripping acidity. The plum fruit character lasts into a classic fresh baked baguette length. Pay attention to the balance of fresh fruit sweetness and minerality in this ten year old wine.
