    December 31, 2021 - Showing age and a bit of carmel but not gone. Was showing its complexity after an hour or two.

    October 10, 2012 - Brown Bag Wine Dinner at Two Chefs - Double Blind; 10/9/2012-10/10/2012 (TWO CHEFS, MIAMI, FL): - Light gold color. It's in total harmony with a light body. Bright texture with a long finish - Luis' Champagne. Light, elegant!

    December 14, 2011 - WIML93+/-

    Tasted non blind. Opened and served immediately. Followed over about 3 hours.

    Light yellow color in the glass, clear looking throughout with tiny, steady beading. Nose of toast, baked apple pie and yellow pears. Flavors of yellow pears, green apples and a splash of lemon/lime. Bright acidity, full bodied. Drink or hold.

    March 18, 2010 - This champagne has come into its own. I am not a fan of blanc de blanc. The 100% chardonnay based champagnes are typically way to dry and acidic for my palate. This wine has matured and filled out, much like a good white burgundy, with age. In fact the color is characteristic of a white burgundy with age. My wife calls it the "Pee Pee" color. There is a toastiness and richness that I typically wouldn't associate with Blanc de Blanc and in fact if I tasted it blind I would guess it was a traditional champagne blend
    The wine looks Yellow gold colored.
    The legs are Medium.

    December 17, 2009 - A very good wine. Well made with clean flavors, soft texture and good length. Some toasty notes with freshly baked biscuits and green apple. I enjoyed this one. Ropom for further development.
