November 24, 2012 - Once in Lifetime...: From magnum, popped and poured, deep golden colour in the glass. On first pour, tons of micro bubbles remain, however, these dissipate within the first few minutes. This shows an oxidative nose of bruised apple, earth, spice, yeast, crushed rocks, toasted hazelnuts, toffee, and some sherry type notes. The second bottle shows a little more advanced with the earthy notes in the forefront, with a bit of undergrowth and mushroom. On the palate, this is still quite rich, with terrific acidity that is very refreshing. The finish is long, and is accentuated by notes of bruised apples, mineral, hazelnut and spice. Other people really loved this, but for my preference, this was on the downward slide; I prefer my Champagne much more youthful and vibrant.
