October 16, 2020 - Wow this is a beautiful NV Champagne. Nose of shaved almonds, minerality, coconut and slight creaminess. This is layered and has lots going on. Tastes is just as wonderful, fresh lemons, almonds and that tasty cream. The bubbles dance along you tung and fade out slowly with a super long finish. 93-94

157 is the 157th day or the year. And what does the 01 mean? -
