March 23, 2024 - Side by side 2002 GA. I think the chardonnay in the 2002 is just better than here and probably makes the 2002 a better champagne, but overall this is still going strong and is a great wine with life ahead

February 11, 2024 - Classic brioche, golden apple, honey. Still fresh, acidic, plenty of bubbles. Three glasses went down effortlessly.

February 6, 2024 - So much pure power here. Consequently not the most elegant but so many flavors to enjoy. Seems time to drink this within the next 5 years or so.

January 10, 2024 - Really showing off. Manly, accent on the Pinot, myshrooms, spice, tobacco, real depth, sous bois; drinking a point.
