Bottle number of 4 of 6 and it is the best this wine has shown so far. Medium gold, very little bead but still some prickle and richness to the nose. A more subtle palate, with all the classic flavours you would expect from a mature Cuvee Bill, plus an exotic touch of ginger, glace fruits and spice to the palate that adds both freshness and complexity. Drunk over 3 days from a well stoppered 750 and was best on day 3, by which time the gas had diminished but the palate had fined up with air. So do not drink too quickly, let it open.

Mixed WTDS at The Kenwood (The Kenwood, Mpls, MN): Light medium gold color. Drank 2 glasses over an hour. Always good to check out on a positive note and this was the best bottle of the group. This was just lovely all around. Mature and developed aromas of apple, apple blossoms, yeast, ginger and apple peel with a cinnamon pastry topnote. The palate is clean and crisp, this is nicely woven together now with apple and pear notes, ginger smaps, and this delightful oxidative note on an elegant and mature frame. 93+ to 94pts.

Deutz Cuvee William Deutz 1999. Litt forsiktig på duft og trenger litt tid og noen grader varmere i glasset. Åpner seg flott og blir en nydelig sak. Bakt eple, gule plommer, søt gjærbakst, spice og vakre florale toner. Formidabel avdempet mousse av de minste bobler. Moden frukt med konsentrasjon på smak. Flott syre som gir bra løft - herlig balansert. Holder trøkket bra gjennom det hele. Meget lang avslutning med moden frukt og pirrende mineralitet. Denne holder i flere år, men for meg er den perfekt moden nå. 93p

(Disgorged in May 2011, 55% Pinot Noir, 10% Meunier and 35% Chardonnay) Light yellow colour with a stream of very fine bubbles. Maturing nose showing minerals, red berries and some almond flowers before opening up with a touch of marzipan in a very pleasant way. Nice with a smoothing lemon acidity combined with a touch of strawberry sweetness on the mid before the nice and creamy finish showing red grapefruit bitterness in a fresh way. This is really good now and more fresh than anticipated and should reward a few more years of cellaring.. (Best 2019-2029)

Pronounced nose with yeast, bread, brioche, red apple. High acidity and long finish.
