  Dark colour, very mature nose of ripe apples and biscuit. Ginger.
  Soft and gentle on the palate, almost no mousse now but fresh acidity still there to lift the rich ripe apple and biscuit flavours.

  Mature and has the lovely 96 focus but lacks much complexity. Very simple and seemed to lack the density to age with interest. We moved on. 88-89pts?

  A 'Lost Cellar' wine this 96 Pol opened with a a deep golden colour and very fine bead that spoke of advanced age. The nose was initially consistent yet it opened to reveal fresh delicious apples, red cherries, freshly baked brioche with touches of almonds and citrus oil. The palate reprised the nose with plenty of richness in the fruit leading into buttered brioche and nuts balanced by a soft acidity and mineral drive. Quite delicious and complex mature Champagne yet clearly advanced for its ge.

  Sushi Lunch (Hatsu): Fully matured champagne, notes of mushroom, stew red apple, earth, caramel, touch of Unami, lemon. Acid mostly resolved, drinking perfectly now.

  Mature but no oxidisation. Perfect balance. Delicious.
