An insolent youthful robe with an effervescence that is still very much alive.
Nose of salted butter caramel and biscuit.
In the mouth, the freshness is incredible. The juice is structured, with enormous complexity, caramel, fresh fruit, then candied over aeration, chalk, a certain vinosity, undergrowth... Everything is revealed by layer in a harmonious way on a perfect balance . The wine remains lively, with a breathtaking youth, which stretches the juice with enormous concentration. Saline finish that explodes like a peacock tail over a simply impressive length.
It's great, nothing else to add!

Another anniversary and another opportunity to taste this gem. Disgorged in '99. Very fresh, lively, fragranent and lasting in the mouth. Sustained itself thru the first couple of courses. Lovely. The way an old champagne should drink.

60th Bday celebration (Goosefoot Restaurant Chicago, IL): Great color, golden, fragrant nose, good finish, showed too much of up its age.
