August 18, 2021 - Remarkably pale yellow colour. So young! Hint of orange semillon. So clean and just fantastic. Astonishing longevity.

December 12, 2019 - Acker's 1970's Holiday Champagne Dinner (Atera - 77 Worth Street in NYC): Nice and fresh and some caramel and some apple and overall quite enjoyable again. This producer manages age very well.

April 17, 2014 - Charity Event - French Tasting (Restaurant Daniel): rich and yeasty, lost some fizz, interesting and sauterne like in some respects but a bit past prime for my taste
