  I can see where this can be 92-93 for older champagne lovers. I enjoy it, but a bit fresher would be good. Low bubbles, low acid, lots of yeast. Really a food wine by now. No change from 2-3 years ago.

  I normally like low bubbles count, but this is too little. It could be over the peak, although these should age for a while.
  
  It could be that this is not for everyone as aperitif- too expressive, yeasty etc. I would drink it with food - should stand up very well to any white wine stuff.
  
  Anyway I won’t buy any more - prefer my NV Leblanc as daily bubbly.

  Woww. Que espumante! Perlage ainda existente após 16 anos. Finíssimo.
  Aromas intensos de nozes, marzipan, um leve toque químico.
  Preenche a boca, com mel. Doçura equilibrada.
  Final limpo e longo. Permanente.
  
  Assim q serve a taça, há um toque do finíssimo perlage. Após alguns minutos, com o perlage já extinto, ainda assim transmite a sensação de beber um grande vinho branco.
  
  Não há como dar uma nota objetiva. É uma experiencia tomar um Charles Ellner da grande safra de 2002.

  **Adicionei a nota 94 apenas como referência.

  This had softened with age. You could tell this was a vintage. While 60% Chardonnay and only 40% Pinot Noir the aging brought out more if the Piont. Excellent wine

  Light medium gold color. Drank 2 glasses over 45 minutes. My last bottle and probably drinking at peak, showing lovely secondary characteristics. I love the maturity here with a lovely nose of toffee, great yeast and baking bread notes, apple, spice and mineral on the nose. The palate is medium bodied to fuller with a maturity, yeast, brioche, red apple, toast, spice, fine chalk minerality. This shows nice balance and character. I don't think I would push it a lot further, but should hold for a couple years if desired.
