December 17, 2022 - Tired, “mostly dead” to quote a favorite movie. Tasted like cider, not bad cider, but definitely not good champagne. Cest la vie.

December 5, 2022 - Power and elegance. Buttered mushrooms, grilled lemons and yeasty bread. Still a prominent acidity. Long aftertaste. Brilliant right now if you like aged champagne that are still fresh!

December 3, 2018 - Magnum. Fantastic wine. Great depth and energy, changes and develops over a few hours open. Rather big boned (perhaps from the oak) and with distinct citrus notes. Could use more time in this format size.
