  Tightened since three years ago, very concentated with citrus galore. Layered with both minerals and hints of brioche, but seems to be closing down - several bottles served and tasted - same impression.

  My score reflects the wine's potential. Drinking like a 93 today. Very young, fresh, restrained bubbles, mineral (almost chalk) flavors. Apple and pear. Needs time. Check back in 5 years. This will be a great wine one day.

  Torsdagsklubben: Fransk boksmat: Moden, svakt nøtteaktig og med noe kamfer, mektig vin. Overraskende langtkommen.

  Kräftiges Gelb, dezente, feine Perlage. Die Nase ist steinig, mineralisch, dahinter mehliger Apfel, Brotrinde, Walnuss, auch zitrische Noten. Im Gaumen reichhaltig, opulent, ein Mund voll Wein, viel Druck, top strukturiert, balanciert, finessenreich und sehr lang im Abgang... Ziemlich grosses Champagner-Kino.

  Champagne In My Backyard (My House): October 2018 disgorgement. I think about 8 grams of dosage, and about 2/3rds Pinot Noir and the rest Chard. Initially this started out very juicy, with lots of yellow apple and an impressive concentration with some moderate structure that came through the finish, along with pastry. I mentioned to Astrid that I thought there was a nice kick of ginger here too but she had a reframe of thinking that it was likely from the oak. Overall, this showed an opulence and richness with spicy oak that was very good. After a few hours, I tried some more and found more of the acid, a creamy lime and some stone. Gotta say, this is damn good and hard to put down the glass and not keeping drinking it.
