Can’t top @Viniferatu ‘s TN as that is spot on and far more complete than anything I could say. The cut on this is very sharp and the finish is very long — these are more dominant impressions than the nose. Mrs Yoyo absolutely flipped for this. Score: 93. Relative to expectations: ++

Golden with coppery hints. Aromas of crab apple, green and white flowers, and oysters, plus hints of white grapefruit, lime juice, vanilla, buttery pastry, and sweet almond candy. On the palate it is far more complex, almost full and rich, with deep acid cut, a deft touch of oak, layers of fresh ripe fruit, and an intense mineral line. Long and intense finish, citrus and apples are the focus, but a little oak spice melds with everything, and the mineral character lingers beautifully. This really flaunts and struts! Does 2017 Champagne get much better? It might not be for the long haul, but it will definitely be worth following another 5 or so.

Young, bright and chiseled. Lots of citrus fruit, great mouthfeel and nice complexity and depth. Young, will improve with a bit of time I think, but lovely to drink now!

Annual SAC event @ French Consulate (French Consulate in NYC): Very interesting, lots of green apple, young and fresh, it's bright and fruity. Too young still, but interesting to try.
