  December 31, 2020 - Golden colour, almost amber.
  Fully mature BdB champagne. Good mousse despite its 30 years. Nose is a bit closed and not as expressive as expected. Better with some air and 12 C temp. Lemon tarte, yellow apple, some bread, and little oxidized notes. High citrus driven acidity and quite dry taste. Lost a bit of fruit. Long, but not very intense finish. Ok to the amuses and very good to "Bisque de homard". Probably better 3-4 years ago. Drink up.

  August 10, 2020 - This is fantastic. Golden amber. Its a very big and substantial wine. Developed nose of biscuits and savory aromas. Incredible acidity.

  April 30, 2019 - No formal notes, still very youthful and a fairly tightly knit package albeit quite drinkable, an excellent showing.

  March 20, 2019 - Dinner at Jade Court (Chicago, IL): Drinking fabulously, despite being one of psmith's always-corked bottles. The nose is fairly mild, and doesn't show too many mature notes. There's amazing freshness overall here, with an incredible youthfulness thanks to the acidity. Sometimes I find older chardonnay can get a little funky and weird, but there's none of that here.
