Drank a small pour at a tasting, and I continue to be impressed with this producer. Good balance. Slightly oxidized, which seems consistent with this producer, and adds interest.
Drank a small pour at a tasting. This bottle met my expectation. This seems to have the whole package, nice fruit, deep and rich, with acidity and citrus.
Drank a very small pour at a tasting. I wouldn't kick this out of bed, but I expected better. Oxidized maybe a little too much. Also it fell a bit flat on the palate. This was a good champagne, but it did not meet my expectation.

This opened up with time. Stylistically, it is clearly a Blanc de Blanc. It has good body, oak, spice.

This was one of the surprises of he tasting. I believe this drinks considerably better than it's paygrade. Rich and yeasty. This is quite powerful.
