  Consistent with previous bottles and drinking well now. Autolytic, nutty and soft citrus notes with solid acidity. This is at peak without any potential upside in my opinion.

  I've read a few notes suggesting this may be past its prime, but this bottle (and my last bottle about a year ago) seems to be in the perfect drinking window (for me) with no signs of falling off a cliff anytime soon. Autolytic, citrus and nutty notes with fine bubbles. It has the energy and acidity that I would expect from the vintage and its age. Excellent.

  A little past its prime? Lots of mature nutty/caramel notes, getting a bit short, lacking substance and acid. Disappointing.

  Clear light yellow, light mousse. Bread dough, lemon cream, apple and dead yeast nose. Dry creamy dry lemon and brioche flavours. The finish is pretty resolved.
  
  At peak or declining slightly.

  Tasted side by side with the 2004 Veuve Brut and I enjoyed this better. Fuller bodied, more complex, and had a wonderful yeasty baked bread on the finish, which I like.
