Chris brought this and what an amazing wine. The color was a sparkling medium gold with no signs of age. The nose was reminiscent of the '85 Krug we had recently only better, featuring lemon/citrus, hazelnuts and a slight note of oxidation. In the mouth the palate impression is light and lively, a product of the perfect balance and the lively mousse. And yet, it's a serious wine, packed with flavor but also surprisingly structured, a wine to savor and reflect on. I'd never heard of this producer but, if this wine is any indication, this is a producer to know. If I can beat Chris to Winestreet I will be cleaning them out of their remaining stock. Awesome stuff.

Tasting Group Dinner w/ Kevin Sidders - Steaks & Bordeaux (Our House): Attractive, rich, deep gold color. Lightly oxidative in the Krug style. Layer upon layer of flavor of complex citrus fruit, nuts, toast, and minerals. Impeccable balance. Utterly delicious. A real eye-opening wine, both intellectually and hedonistically. Thanks to Chris for sharing this.
