This is a beast of a wine, but from magnum, it's going to need far longer to develop. Great showing, but in a little bit of an awkward phase from the initial racing acidity to something more colorful and integrated.

Always terrified of the cork, but still a stellar showing. Possibly WOTN.

An excellent wine in its own right, but struggled to show next to the same vintage H-N Clos Vougeot. This has a long life left ahead of it.

Probably should have opened this a day earlier.

Love this as an every day drinker champagne (or as a no regrets "we've had too much but still want more to drink" pull, as it were on NYE)
