(Pol Roger Blanc de Chardonnay) This was a mineral-whore's wet dream. So shelly and complex with all different types of green apple laced minerality. Incredibly young and tight with nice flavors of green apple and pear. Great sap after it sat in the glass for a while. Needs at least twenty years but will be something special.

Golden colour, almost amber.
Fully mature BdB champagne. Good mousse despite its 30 years. Nose is a bit closed and not as expressive as expected. Better with some air and 12 C temp. Lemon tarte, yellow apple, some bread, and little oxidized notes. High citrus driven acidity and quite dry taste. Lost a bit of fruit. Long, but not very intense finish. Ok to the amuses and very good to "Bisque de homard". Probably better 3-4 years ago. Drink up.

This is fantastic. Golden amber. Its a very big and substantial wine. Developed nose of biscuits and savory aromas. Incredible acidity.

No formal notes, still very youthful and a fairly tightly knit package albeit quite drinkable, an excellent showing.

Dinner at Jade Court (Chicago, IL): Drinking fabulously, despite being one of psmith's always-corked bottles. The nose is fairly mild, and doesn't show too many mature notes. There's amazing freshness overall here, with an incredible youthfulness thanks to the acidity. Sometimes I find older chardonnay can get a little funky and weird, but there's none of that here.
