  Ganska knuten och dämpad doft, men bättre i smaken. Ung med en hel del syra, den slår dock inte i taket. Hade inte gissat att den legat tolv år på jästen. Alla komponenter finns på plats för att detta ska bli ett riktigt fint vin med tiden, men jag skulle givetvis väntat tio år för att ta med denna till en provning. Men vem kan hålla sig?

  Never been a Gosset fan but this bottle changed all that.
  
  Really loved this. Was open and ready for consumption. So much character, texture, density, yet light on its feet. Super long finish. Not so much yeasty bits but rather a plush elegant ride w some highly appealing subtle oaky caramel notes which echoed in the background. Highly recommended. Will rebuy (already did actually!).

  Family Holidays; 7/28/2023-9/10/2023 (Alicante - España): By the glass. Thirteen years of aging is one of the longest records in the entire region. Alcoholic volume of 12%. Almost equally Chardonnay (54%) and Pinot Noir (46%), with a sugar addiction of 4.8 g/l for this extra brut. On the nose floral notes, mainly jasmine, stand out over others much more obvious of white fruit on brioche bread. Maybe some nougat too. Excessive tension on the palate, lack balance with such volume more typical of a good bodied wine. Good length and a saline aftertaste. This vintage serves as a showcase for this extraordinary house. Another contribution of mine and seen the unanimous and surprising praises, I am glad this bottle was served at a perfect temperature.
  
  Por copas. Trece años de envejecimiento suponen una de la más largas crianzas de toda la región. Volumen alcohólico del 12%. Casi a partes iguales Chardonnay (54%) y Pinot Noir (46%), con una adicción de azúcar de 4.8 g/l para este extra brut. En nariz las notas florales, principalmente jazmín, destacan sobre otras de fruta blanca sobre pan de brioche mucho más obvias. Quizás también turrón. Excesiva tensión al paladar, falta equilibrio con semejante volumen más propio de un vino de buen cuerpo. Buena longitud y un postgusto salino. Esta añada sirve de escaparate a esta extraordinaria casa. Otra de mis contribuciones y vistas las unánimes y sorprendentes alabanzas, me alegro de haberla servido a la temperatura perfecta.

  Tasting: As Gosset avoids malolactic fermentation, this champagne has a very special freshness to it. I have previously had the 2002, but this vintage was better.
