A lovely Champagne served out of magnum and it's very '06 in its soft texture and nice complexity. For my tastes though, it lacks verve and intensity which is typical of the vintage.

Collectable Wine Night (Tuscany Steakhouse NYC): The last of 4 bottles I purchased and I'm sad to see them all gone, as loved each bottle. As soon as the bottle was open a heady yeasty bread aroma was evident. Just a glorious champagne. A long finish and great golden color.

Time has been kind to this one. Rich, round and supple, this is drinking beautifully. Fresh and zippy, but with notes of creme brulee, brioche and caramel. Some apple and candied lime zest in the background gives this great depth. A long, elegant finish, that leaves you wanting another sip and then another glass.

Tone’s 75th Birthday Bash: this had more spice character than the youthful 2010 Dom Ruinart tasted alongside. Bruised apple, cinnamon and other baking spices; much richer style with more complexity than the DR. Haven’t had a Sir Winston since the ‘95. What a treat. Thanks Wayne!!! 94+

Medium oxidation, decently rich and cut, yellow fruit and quite easily pleasurable if not too deep. 92-93
