Four decades of Penfolds Grange (Chicago, IL): Despite a sense of leanness here, there is surprising breadth from the fruit on the palate. For its youth the fruit feels more mature and starting to brown, but this has amply good intensity of minerality, yellow and browning fruit, and acidity. Not exactly my style of Champagne if I'm to be totally honest.

Purity, focus, precision, tension, vibrancy. A gorgeous Champagne that will continue to develop beautifully, gaining in complexity with time in the bottle. Give plenty of air if opening 2014 now, but it’s definitely not too soon.

Pale golden. Very precise fresh exotic fruits and lots of yeasty breadcrumb flavors. Medium bodied with fine bubbles and long lingering finish.
