1/2018 disgorgement. Special wine from a wood case 3 pack with 02&04.
This was soooo bright and clean it’s impossible to believe this is 20 years old. Piercing acidity. This was open for 3 days and was the best on the 3rd. Hardly any of that nutty brioche flavor, this was all about lemon zest and bright flavors.

Welcoming Adam to Singapore (Luke's Oyster Bar, Gemmil Road, Singapore): This was a nice Champagne. Disgorged on 22/2/2010, it had a very developed nose for such a young Champagne, with lovely appley scents soaked through with yeast, earthy notes, with some mineral and slightly dried flowery accents. Really nice. The palate was marked by very bright acidity and a nice streak of minerality washing through a solid core of apple fruit. The bubbles had gone down, leaving a hint of the finest mousse in a creamily textured mouthfeel before a long, minerally finish wound its way out with a touch of oyster shell and a bit of citrus. Unsurprisingly, this was wonderful with the fresh-shucked oysters we had. A nice Champagne, although given the rich weight and fruit forwardness, I would never have guessed this as an extra brut with zero dosage.

Very nice developed nose, some floral orange peel notes. Vibrant fresh elegant mandarin orange and grapefruit. Very nice finish

Will just say that it really does not compare to the Moet et Chandon 2000.
