  Realising the price for this bottle five folded expectations were high. Well they did not disappoint. The concentration, purity , minerality and depth were stunning. just impressive.

  Agree that this is still young and tight, but the substance is there. Couple years to retry.

  Ulysse Collin dinner at Shaw's (Chicago, IL): Lot 14/1, F 48 Months, No. 383, disgorged March 2019. Like the 2012 Roises next to it, this had a lot of high-toned aldehydic notes on the nose and palate that I didn't really like. On the palate though, this showed a distinct marzipan character with medium acidity. For my palate, lacking the freshness and lift that a wine like this ought to have (of course, this is but one year off of the 2015s, but felt far more aged).

  Still very very tight. Needs 3 or 4 more years.

  Excellent champagne but not as good as the other note indicate, IMHO.
  Didn't get much nose or the toast notes.
  Well balanced and deep though
