Pop and pour. Bottle sputtered open. A bit tired, but not lacking in interest. On the nose: faded, but apricot preserves, lemon, loads of honey. On the palate: solid acidity, little mousse to speak of, but lime, vanilla, honey, almond, apricot preserves. Would probably have been better 10 years ago, but fascinating nonetheles.

Very fresh and herbal with a reductive note of marinated cabbage. Massive intensity of fruit on the palate, white and yellow fruit, not that ripe as the acidity is high but also balanced. Very complex.

A nice medium rich bottle of bubbly -this seemed a little young still and i would like to see it mellow out a little more before attempting another bottle. Everything was here and balanced yet it seemed to lack a little bit of precision and in need of a little more bottle time -this was an Ex Chateau bottle -not sure about the disgorgement, got better with a little air time. I will give my next bottle at least 2 years.

Todd Waldmann comes to town and we eat and drink well at Suzanne's. (Suzanne & Kenny's): Crisp apple aromas dominate the nose with a hit of toast and mineral. Shows nice creaminess on the palate with a soft mousse. Drinks nicely with apple and mineral flavors at the forefront. A-/B+.
