April 28, 2024 - Recorked a couple of years ago.
Nice hue showing age but not excessively so.
Ripe nose showing plum, chocolate and baking spices.
The liveliness and elegance that we expect from this vintage.
The fruit is drying out a little, not surprisingly showing more of the tannins.
medium length, nice clean finish.
Probably about 10 years past its peak but still very enjoyable. -

December 21, 2023 - Holiday Champagne Gala (Wilmette Harbor Club): Tasted at gala dinner. Charming nose, good enough flavors, well balanced, but slightly dirty. Very interesting.
