  Nose of astonishing youth, yeast, brioche, jasmine and almonds
  
  Still very light color even if it shows some signs of evolution.
  
  The mouth is very sensitive to the serving temperature. Too cold, the acidity comes out aggressively and unbalances the wine. It must have been undrinkable when he was younger. The juice is of enormous density but very straight. At the right temperature, i.e. 13/14°, the wine balances naturally. The acidity comes into line and is at the service of a high quality juice with aromas of almonds, chalky citrus fruits and especially this jasmine which comes out very strongly with aeration. The wine gives off great energy, it is still a little in its straitjacket, a trace of smoke appears at the end of the mouth. Great vibrant finish on mineral salts, all with a vibrant length.
  
  Excellent champagne, floral and mineral at the same time. Amazingly young, he is just out of his teens. My score takes into account the extremely positive potential of the wine.

  Wonderful champagne. Yeast, brioche, toast. Long finish. Would probably develop further with some more years of cellaring. At this point of time 92-93+ P

  Prövades blint med 14 andra 08.
  Jästig och ekad, Brioche, banan och grädde.
  Känns om en odlare, röda äpple, mycket citrus och beska citrusfrukter. väldigt god med lång eftersmak Gott vin men för priset finns mycket annat att köpa, kanske börjar den här leverera mer om några år men just nu är den inte i närheten av dompa/comtes mm i samma prisklass.

  Provades halvblint på en stor 2008-provning med 15 flaskor.
  
  Roligt att få skriva att den är lite mörkare i färgen med små, snabba och intensiva bubblor. Trevlig och tydlig i doften. Det finns lite tyngd och kraft i smaken men den är ändå len och nästan elegant. Smak av banan växer fram och blir tydligare.
  
  Omdömen som kom upp från andra: tight doft, banan, bra. Smak av banan, beska, mycket grape, citrus, komplexitet och ek?
