  January 20, 2021 - I find this to be drinking very well - perhaps a bit advanced for a 2002 vintage - but still very good. It has an oxidative style akin to Selosse. Very fine bubbles. Excellent density and intensity. Baked apple with a bit of spice and brioche. I wish that I had more than one bottle of this left!

  August 6, 2013 - Very mature, both on the nose and the palate. Bread and syrup. Very good, but past its peak. I had not expected this from a 2002 Mesnil. Bought at Launois in 2009 and stored in a cool cellar since.

  August 7, 2012 - Mostly French at Tilia's: Aromatic nose featuring predominantly clean citrus fruit. Bursts with flavor on the palate. Plush and rich with just enough structure. Great length on the finish. Pure pleasure.

  March 18, 2012 - Red Burgs Plus (Porter Creek, Burnsville): Nose has green apple, nutty, soft yeast, bright. Palate is bright too, crisp, clean, nice lift, apple, mineral, light yeast, long finish. Very good indeed.
