Good note, but for the price I expected more. Creamy, round, too young for nutty brioche notes (indeed age might be a problem - i.e. opened too early). Excellent bubbly, but fully priced, so 1-2 points less. Pretty sure will get more gravitas with age and move into 93 territory. Anyway, I will drink my older bottles and let these sit.
Raising my score by one notch to 92 after a day in the fridge. This will clearly be as good as my benchmarks - older Lallier Ouvrage and Perrier Grand Siecle.

Pretty good, creamy. Slightly sweet feel even with the reasonably low dosage.
