A steal from WineBid. Tattered label and depressed cork. Plenty of sediment so decanted off for 30min, back to bottle, then to a restaurant.
Gorgeous mature nose of fallen leaves and dried earth. Hints of complex fruit in the back. The palate shows absolutely beautiful integration of fruit and earth. Tannins and soft and fully integrated and provide a supple structure. Finish is complex and tertiary with leather and aged mixed berry compote.
Glorious for an appellation level 30yo wine. Really stole the show.

This was phenomenal. Needs air to come together and probably 10 years to be at peak. Gorgeous flinty minerals and petrol on the nose. Palate takes time to come alive but once it does it is really quite something. Liquid minerals, white fruit, light citrus. Mineral finish.
93-94 this is very good.

Lovely champagne. Gorgeous mousse. Elegant flavors and supple mouthfeel with a crystalline and relatively lean style.
