(at Charleston - Baltimore). Not much else I can say about this one. My favorite champagne. Drinks like red wine yet has the freshness and spine I love in a good bottle of bubbles. (95)

I love Blanc de Noirs - the redder the greater, so this was one heck of a good bottle. 36 month en tirage. On the nose you get this Selosse-like reductiveness and exotic spices. The rest of the wine took about half an hour to flesh out fully but once it gets there, it was straight eden. Bruised red apples, toasted almonds, honey lemon biscuits and then building up to penetrating acidic finish.
Seriously, the nuttiness of its palate (and of its prices these days) drives me crazy.

(at The Milton Inn - Baltimore) Just love this. Strawberry fruit, wonderful depth and richness while sporting plenty of tang and acidity. This hits all my bubble buttons. (95)

These wines are just so good. Piercing acidity, loads of green apple and lemon citrus, with lovely depth and texture. So bright, crisp and refreshing.
