Sorry to say I found this wine surprisingly disappointing. I’m not so snobbish with my Champagne to pick on the big guys simply for their size, but I expected more here. Knows practically nonexistent through the course of the night and palate was a muddle a fruit. Sterile. Perhaps the bottle was damaged. Recently read about light strike with champagne and rosé wines the most susceptible. However, this was an amber colored bottle so go figure. 87-88 points. Not for me.

R&F over for the weekend: Enjoyed this more than I expected to. Big and rich but not sweet.
