Rather light nose with odd chemical notes. Some coffee notes and less mature citrus flavors. Tamed but ample mousse. Not particularly clean, but plenty drinkable.

High End Champagne Tasting (Lafayette, Ca.): OK mousse, nose of nuts, apple, and toast, big taste of oil, acid, rich fruit, intense concentration, long, long finish. My #5 of 6.

Fresh, vibrant and bubbly. Energetic palate but just missing the nuttiness to love it more. Nice one.

Second Sunday Group: Aged Alsatian Riesling Vendange Tardive (Neil's): Courtesy of Neil. Fresh and vibrant. Nuts, apple and toasted, crème brûlée aromas. Orchard fruit and cashew flavors with hints of ginger and citrus in the finish. Excellent.

Golden yellow, still very bubbly but not fine mousse, yeasty, apple, lemon, fully matured but will remain there due to nice acidity.

Tasty but tired. No pop, though still had bubbles, but mainly lacking in verve.

still dancing nice on the palate. Tame, but good nose and still contains bright fruit and good balance

Good colour, bubbles almost gone; oaky toasty nose following through to palatte with fine fizy mouthfeel and hints of candied fruits. Good.

A private dinner (Shampers, 4 Kingly Street, London, UK): Relatively light colour; tropical fruit; smooth, stylish and refined, great finesse, very relaxed and at one with itself. At peak.
