• La Cave d'Argent Likes this wine: 96 points

  November 21, 2013 - This medium yellow-gold sparkler (from a pristinely-cellared bottle) is showing beautifully at this point. Although inspection of the fluted glass did not reveal a particularly brisk bead, it is possible that this was the result of the stemware's etching (or lack thereof), as the wine shows impressive physical verve on the tongue. It charms with aromas and flavors of marzipan, cardamom, brioche, nutmeg and orange marmalade. Medium-bodied, crisp and long on the finish, it epitomizes top-flight Champagne from a top-flight vintage. Enjoy it for another 5-7 years (or more). Drink now-2020.
