July 14, 2023 - Mainly champagnes with hotpot: Rather oxidised with honey notes so I thought this to be from the late 80s. Very powerful and broad, some said it was Krug-like but I thought this was too coarse. Think others liked this more than I did, the ‘96s that I’ve tried so far have been a little long in the tooth for my palate, compared to ‘02s which are still incredibly fresh and vibrant.

May 15, 2020 - An incredibly bold and intense Champagne that feels like it was bottled yesterday. There is plenty of balancing ripe lemon/lime fruit and a ton of funky yeast and bread notes on the finish. Not the most elegant Champagne I've ever tasted but it's intensity for a 24-year old bottle of bubbles is insane. This could be much better in another 10 years. 93?

September 12, 2019 - Raw, rustic, but super tense, with notes of herbs, some lemon oil, spices, also some mineral notes. It‘s pretty full-bodied, with high acidity cutting through the richness. Superb length with plenty of tension and explosive mineral/acidity finish. Very fascinating.
On day 2 some oxidation is sneaking in, still a very good, tense, slightly rustic Champagne. -

July 2, 2016 - Lovely dark colour. Slightly oxidised. Extremely powerful Champagne. Very distinctive notes of bread. Would have been better with food than on its own. Interesting stuff.
