November 12, 2021 - From magnum, Pnp- this was showing very well, amazing freshness, but open and showy. Lots of maillard things going on in the background. It’s so interesting to try these late releases as a wine bottled back then would be so so much more advanced. A treat, and only a shade behind the 76 in my opinion

March 1, 2020 - Out of magnum this was a delicious aged Champagne with wonderful nutty and yeasty flavors on the complex and intense finish. A bit linear and less-giving than the ‘76 but nevertheless a lovely bubbly

March 23, 2019 - Fra magnum.
Fullmoden nese.
Bakte epler dynket med lekre røyktoner.
Ren med fin intensitet.
Perfekt mousse.
Moden på smak hvor røyktonene følger med her også.
Veldig artig vin.
Frukten holder seg relativ bra med prikkende syre.
Lang stram finish hvor syre og mineraler sparker bra.
Deilig vin som har holdt seg godt. 92p -

November 2, 2017 - Magnum. Dyp gullengul farge. Dyp, "mellow" nese. Herlig balanse mellom friskhet og modning. Mildt sagt kompleks. Her finnes "alt": kaffe, bitter sjokolade, autolyse, nedlagte kirsebær, appelsinskall, salt sjøbris. Intens, konsentrert og stor friskhet i munn. Røde appelsiner, sopp, kandiserte sitroner. Elegant og lett stil. På et nydelig mellomnivå, friskhet og modning i harmoni. Subtil lang utgang. Gogget i 2013. Kan ligge i 30 år til.
