Still work here. Still biased....
The 2008 from Josef Chromy is a different beast to the NV and a young whippersnapper to boot. Pale lemon with small fast moving bubbles and fine beading on the rim the nose is highly aromatic with brioche, honey, apples, lemon, candied orange peel and a hint of richness.
A very creamy mouthfeel with lots of youthful characteristics of green apple, lemons and fresh bread this sparkling is just getting going. Softer, richer and less racy than the non vintage I would be very interested to see how this continues to develop over the next five years to see how all the promise it shows eventually reveals itself.
I haven't tasted much older Tasmanian sparkling wines but the few I have tasted have been very impressive and I will definitely be tucking some of the Josef Chromy 2008 aside to enjoy over the years. Now all I have to do is see what older vintages are lurking over at the winery.....
