January 6, 2024 - Dinner with Friends (R&R's): Served double blind to the group. Deep color hinting at its age. Short mousse. Toasty and rich, with orchard fruit and chalk notes as well. Medium bead. Flavors of apple, vanilla crème and toasted marshmallow. Has that pleasant nutty element that comes with mature Champagne. The best of the three with the ravioli.
An equal blend of pinot noir and chardonnay, disgorged in December 2013 at 3.5 g/L. At peak for my palate; drink up.1 person found this helpful Comment -

October 7, 2023 - Restrained toastiness on the nose paired with almonds and a seaside breeze, but not much fruit. Strong bead and high acidity, lively for a two decade old wine. The palate contrasts the nose, immediately focusing on lemon lime spritz followed eventually by white minerals and a touch of creaminess. Lovely champagne, but surprisingly possibly better in 5-10 years

March 30, 2023 - Drank from Mag. This was so good - drank as an apertif and it was the perfect opener to what was an enjoyable (and very boozy) lunch

July 19, 2022 - Sommelier Scholarship Fund Tasting (Popina - Brooklyn NY): Walk around tasting. Mature while also very rich, plus completely elegant and graceful. Still fresh enough but best to drink now vs cellaring any further.

May 16, 2020 - Woodward Cellar Emptying; 5/15/2020-5/16/2020 (Woodyville): Fantastic Champagne that may have benefited from the pairing and situation... But STILL, an open nose of white citrus and bread, a touch of pinot berry, green apple, white peach and a saline finish. WOW! Has 10 years if you like them mellower.
