Drank at 380 Rector few nites back. It's been awhile since I've had this wine, and it was as good as I recall (this was a gift from Blanco's SIL long ago). This is a fairly rich, yeasty wine, but also with very ripe fruit. Reminds me a bit of the 2008 DP that I recently tasted but a bit bigger and richer. This is a very flavorful wine, though perhaps (if I were to quibble) somewhat lacking in elegance. Very enjoyable though. Get more!

Felt a bit lacking in shine and energy and was in a way muted. Not sure if it was the fact that it was flanked by great bottles or just a bad bottle itself. We reserve scoring ( Usually we rate this 92 , last TN back in Feb 2020) this time

Sunday Night @ The Papies (The Papies, Elizabeth St, London): Summer 2013 Disgorgement. we have this once a year it seems and always delivers. Still going strong, still very vibrant and for those in the know draws as much admiration as Dom Perignon. Very solid and on point. 92-93

The perfect rebound as the last one was corked. In glorious condition, very fresh, with a broad midpalate/finish. highly recommended
