April 27, 2024 - Fat rich fruit and a bit of grip, but somehow the two don't come together. It's nice enough, but nowhere near as good as I was hoping for.

April 24, 2024 - Fully mature with a flavour of sour green plums sweetened with a drizzle of honey and caramel and seasoned with vanilla. It still has a lively acidity but this is softened by a rich coating of butter. Very complex, it simply opens up, yielding more with every mouthful, to the extent I was tasting a coating of dark chocolate on a lengthy satisfying finish. Very fine indeed and in much better condition than I had anticipated. CHP 94 pts

December 22, 2023 - Drinking nicely. Slightly sweeter than I would like which I found overpowered the more savoury brioche and mineral notes. Overall it just didn’t quite seem in balance to me. Maybe down to personal preference however, if you like your champagne on the sweeter side I expect you’d love this. I feel like I might actually have preferred it in a more youthful phase, where the acidity could have counteracted the sugar. The sweetness does open it up to being more of a crowd pleaser however, I would happily serve this at a gathering and expect most people would like it.
