  A great and distinctive champagne. Bottles consumed a few years ago were better than the last one now though. Losing the appley acid it needs and had a few years ago, and becoming a bit over-toasty now. Good stuff though. Almost new-world in some ways. I'll be buying this cuvee in the future. 90+ now, 93 at best (may depend on storage).

  Historical Bodegas Bilbainas Tasting Event (plus dinner at La Piperna) (Bodega Santa Cecilia - Madrid): Effective sparkling wine at the mineral side. Lovely coupage of Meunier PN and Chardonnay with an exuberant initial attack. Can't feeling the Chardo anywhere.
  By disgrace that lush nose isn't followed by mouth where the champagne showed more shy and short. Needing little more time? It will benefice indeed.
  
  Un espumoso efectivo del lado mineral. Una rica mezcla de meunier, PN y Chardonay con un ataque inicial muy exuberante. No puedo sentir la Chardo por ninguna parte.
  Por desgracia esa opulenta nariz no es seguida por la boca donde se mostró más tímida y corta. ¿Necesita un poco más de tiempo? La beneficiará sin lugar a dudas.

  Crisp fruity bubbly. Medium bodied, and relatively dry, I didn't detect as much of the oxidative flavor others have noted.

  Same rating as previous notes. Broadly delicious. However, this bottle flirting with some oxidation. The vaguest hint of sherry. Not enough to soil it, but enough to taint a score - hence not rated this time.

  Excellent mousse, this bottle seemed mature. Drink up.
