This wine is drinking more Chablis than Champagne! And that ain't a bad thing here! It's all about sour lemon tarts and chalky crushed limestone...yellow and waxy orchard fruits...would never guess BdN?...slight caramel green apple, but not as "DP" with the smoky lees and caramel cream as my last two bottles...the bubbles are tiny yet tingle with energy...ZERO mousse when you swish the wine around in the mouth...just love how bright and alive the wine is, yet nuanced with calm...aged honey, truffle butter, and baked apple...very classy and quite engaging...especially when sippin and staring at the sea!

not really showing any age in the color. Nose shows a little honey, but otherwise sweet breads (not sweetbreads) and overripe pear nose, layers of flavor, with a little smokiness, a little vanilla, loads of orchard fruit and great acid on the finish. 30 minutes later all ruggedness has shaken off and it’s a stunner. The fruit and smokiness are there, the acid has dropped to an appropriate back level, the finish lasts for a minute. So incredible now, but zero rush on this one either.

Lucky to get another chance to taste this. The balance and energy of this wine are impeccable. Starting to acquire some secondary flavors. So good.

Absolutely singing. Still tons of energy and complexity, but also perfect balance. Seems like it could still age for years.
