I am noting these together (Speciale & Carte Blanche) because for the first time they are the same wine, differing only by their dosage, 6 grams versus 10. Carte Blanche is no longer a year younger than it sibling. This, like all the wines I tasted, was disgorged 1/08. It's half-half '04-'05, and as we did last year, we tasted it with three different sweetness levels starting at zero. The wine is a classic cool Milan; fine Oger-apple and graphite and just a hint of 2004's grassiness; silvery and impeccable, with a mineral finish. The Carte Blanche shows more fruit per se. - Jean Milan Champagne Carte Blanche NV 750ml -
