March 1, 2017 - Wonderful rose', great acidity, still fresh, perfect time to drink.
February 17, 2012 - Brassy rose color. Very fine mousse. Toasty yeasty aroma with a feint raspberry note. Very fine bubbles. Toasty bread yeast with a touch of red berries. Nicely winey but enough acid/mineral structure so that you know it is Champagne. Nice stuff and holding up very well.
January 1, 2011 - Lovely darker colour. Lively and deliciously fresh. Happy New Year!
December 11, 2010 - Tasted alongside 14 other champagnes. This was #2. Awesome balance, which for me is the hallmark of a great champagne. Very nice acidity, but also great fruit.
June 3, 2008 - Pol Roger - Probably the worst wine [experience] in the world (The Pawn, Hong Kong): Little nose, little palate. Lean and structured but disappointing. Hints of fruit later but....
February 18, 2007 - Your head might hurt from trying to discern the subtle flavors--everything about it is slight, tending towards sweet without any dryness. It's like getting bonked in the taste-buds by a nerf bat.
April 3, 2006 - Wow -- a creamy mix of strawberry and cherry flavors with a rich mouthfeel and crisp acidity; decadent in its rich fruity flavors, but structured and elegant at the same time; this was the Champagne I opened to toast my new home and what a toast! One of the very best Champagnes I have tasted.
March 3, 2006 - Spring 06 TAC Vendor Sale (Tokyo American Club): Copper and steel. That is, a nice deep copper color and that steely/irony structure that I love in rosé Champagne. This is somewhere between the steely-iron freshness of cold water and the rich blood-tinged iron that sometimes appears. That steeliness combines with light and bright cherry and white plum fruit to produce real pleasure. Bead is nicely small and unusually restrained, but it plays well in this package. I like most wines old, but this one screams to be tried right now. Of course, it will also get better! A winner. ($43.30 at bottle lot)
