SpRhones at Borough (Borough, Mpls, MN): Medium gold color. Drank a glass over 30 minutes. This didn't have the same impact as the last time we had it. This bottle seemed a bit more advanced, and I didn't really feel the love I did previously. I would lay this off to bottle variation at this point. Slightly sour apple, oxidative - and not so much in a positive way this time, tart, lychee, passion fruit with a mineral background, nature-like dry finish. 89-90pts.

Some Excellent Mixed Whites at Martina (Martina, Mpls): Deep golden color. Drank 1 glass over an hour. This was really nice, both on the nose and palate - rich and full bodied with a great texture, lemon, lemon oil, an oxidative quality that significantly enhanced the complexity, powdered lime, and passion fruit witha tangy core of acidity. This is wonderfully mature and complex.
A beautiful Blanc des Blancs for the price ($59) showing its maturity but also bags of freshness. Drinking really nicely now, but should hold well for another 5(+?) years. Clouet makes great-value Champagne, and here's the proof.

This is in a nice place, if you like mature champagne. I'm not sure there's upside to holding on to this, but right now it's in the zone.
