  May 12, 2024 - Nose with floral and buttery aromas with baked apple.
  
  The mouth has a very nice creamy feel. The wine seems to have been picked at maturity where complexity blossoms, while retaining a touch of youth. The juice is ample, with floral, brioche, saline and citrus flavors. There is a side that is both suave and juicy. The texture is velvety with a formidable flavor. Great buttery and salty finish with a great vibrant finish.
  
  Excellent champagne.

  May 12, 2024 - Home-tasting with friend, Singapore. Lots of butter on this. Beeswax too upon opening. Yeasty notes, the ones that engulf you at the local artisan bakery. That characteristic carries over into the midpalate texture. The dosage while present here helps rather than it distracts. IMO adds heft to midpalate. The lemon curd present too, white flowers a bit less so. Good good stuff.

  April 1, 2024 - From MAG. Showed much better in this format than from the bottle. More youthful, freshner, more brioche, more everything as a matter of fact. It took a good hour fully open up and show its best though. Grand BdB!

  March 5, 2024 - Diebolt-Vallois Fleur de Passion 2006.
  Nydelig duft med god intensitet.
  Meget fin modning nå, samtidig som den fortsatt har en ungdommelig touch.
  Florale toner, nybakt eplekake og krydder.
  Rolig behagelig mousse.
  Rik fløyel munnfølelse og en herlig modning i frukten.
  Den er helt super å drikke nå.
  Tåler nok mer tid for de som ønsker det.
  God konsentrasjon med en pen friskhet.
  Ingen laserpresisjon her, men formfull ren og deilig.
  Lang finish med en småprikkende mineralitet.
  Len deg tilbake og nyt. 93p

  December 29, 2023 - Tasting session. This is fully mature with funk, beurre claire notes but also citrus and brioche. Very popular. A bit more advanced than the last bottle.
