  December 31, 2020 - New Year's Eve Dinner (Herald & Teni's Place, Hong Kong): Incredibly crisp and precise. Taut. Crisp but probably fully mature. Somwhat bettered by the Champagne Barnaut 2000 we drank alongside it....but super. Happy New Year!

  November 3, 2014 - The wine is clear and bright with a medium lemon colour and presence of small bubbles. The nose is clean and developing, showing medium intensity aromas of cream, fresh butter, green apple, lemon peel, rye bread, pastries and walnuts. The wine is off-dry in the mouth with a medium(+) refreshing acidity. It has a medium alcohol and a medium body with a delicate mousse. It has medium(+) intensity flavours of walnuts, cream, rye bread, green apples and lemon peel. The finish is long.
  
  It is an outstanding quality wine. It has a lingering finish and a nice flavour concentration well-balanced by the fresh acidity. It also shows a good degree of complexity provided by autolytic notes and bottle ageing. Can drink now, but it has enough acidity and flavour concentration to develop some more complex tertiary aromas in the next 3-5 years.

  I find it very interesting the variation of the bottles of this. Don't get me wrong they are all nice but the nose and palate can be so different. This one was quitter with an amazing complex palate. Lovely.

  October 3, 2013 - I was worried that this one was starting to get old, but when I opened what sadly was my one and only bottle it was still pretty young. Aromas of lemon, golden apples, brioche and tons of mineral, good acidity and elegant mousse. Really nice.

  April 30, 2013 - This showed a brilliant yellow-gold in the glass with aromas of straw, yellow flowers, floral stems and hints of apple. On the palate, it was smoother than expected, caressing even, yet with beautiful bright acidity showing tart apple and flower petals.
