December 19, 2023 - Fully mature, with a deep golden color, fine mousse, and complex bouquet of brioche, cut apples and almonds. Medium bodied, with surprisingly good acidity, a creamy mid palate, and a long and focused finish. We had this for our 25th anniversary, and I see the only other time I’ve had this vintage was at our 10th anniversary in 2008!

December 18, 2023 - Dinner at Perilla (Chicago, IL): Mature Dom. Sweet, with an incredibly distinct note of caramel on the nose here. There's a lushness and breadth here that you don't get in grower Champagnes, and I am really here for it. For my palate, a bottle right at peak. Hard to expect much more from this.

July 28, 2023 - This was a beautiful golden hue with a nose of toasted pineapples and brioche, apricots and walnuts. This continued to evolve in the glass into orange peels and was just powerful and balanced. Well aged champagnes are just so special.
