  May 10, 2024 - High end Champagne 2012 vs 2013, tasted blind (Bad Ragaz): 8g dosage. Medium orange. Discrete nose, some bitterness elements on the palate, not very complex. Shows why I am not such a rosé fan.

  April 20, 2024 - Delicious. Biscuity. Definitely noticeable amount of time on the lees. Drinking quite well now.

  March 16, 2024 - Light red color. Fine bubbles. delicate aromas of red berries, like strawberries, and fresh bakery. Fine and delicate acidity. A lot of red fruit here.

  February 4, 2024 - Vilmart--Emotion and Coeur de Cuvee (select vintages), the meal anchored by Astrid (My House In The South OC): Disgorged January 2018. 60% Pinot Noir / 40% Chardonnay. I got kinda smitten with both the 2013 and 2014 last night, as we had all of those, plus the 2015, side by side. Somehow, the 2012 missed my attention, although I got some notes scribbled down, and I seem to have some leftover stoppered wine from the 2012 bottle to taste again later so that is good. For now, from last night's notes, I found the 2012 to be citrusy with plenty of acid. Has the expected brightness that is present in Emotion, too. Strawberry, raspberry, tangy with really good length. And, I even found some cranberry in the finish, giving the wine some good grip...retasted again on Day 2 from what was leftover last night. Good pop of CO2 which held well. More pink then salmon, both are adding color. Wow, seductive. The acid in this vintage is more relaxed, it's more on an equal, even deferring position with the fruit. This works because the fruit is spot on. Peach/nectarine (this is what the acidity reminds me of, along with of course, lime), strawberry, green apple and tangerine. The 2012 seems really seductive to me right now, in balance and drinking great--it's hard to not keep pouring an ounce after an ounce and just wonder why the glass keeps emptying!

  January 5, 2024 - Good depth and structure. Very powerful acidity -- I'd argue it'd benefit from more time to integrate better.. Notes of cream, strawberries, orange.
  
  Drank over 3-ish hours. Took about 1 hour to open up. It drank really well at that point. However, by the end, the acid kinda took over and overpowered everything.
