July 8, 2023 - Absolutely delicious champagne drinking beautiful right now.
Bouquet has some brioche, peaches, red currant and pecan nuts.
On the palate it has good tension and creaminess. We had 12 half bottles and enjoyed them over the last years. -

June 15, 2022 - Dinner at Pun Im (Tanjong Pagar, Singapore): Third bottle of this consistently good Champagne - it was very nice again. It had an attractive little nose of cherry flesh, apples and cream traced with shades of mineral and spice. On the palate, it was bright and juicy, with more cherry flesh and cream, this time undercut by a nice citrusy lemon note. I thought this particular bottle felt a touch more primary than the previous examples, but it was still nicely drinkable, with good depth and a sense of underlying power from the 75% Pinot Noir in the cepage. Nice long finish too, with lick of mineral and spice, all nicely held up in a fine mousse and fresh acidity. Yummy, and drinking well young.

April 23, 2022 - Rich vanilla and yeast aromas. Ripe red apple, apple skins, cherry, lemon and lime flavors with a candy / marshmallow finish. Overall a very ripe fruit profile. Decent minerality and well balanced, but not my favorite style — lacks crispness / freshness.

April 3, 2022 - Medel+ syra. Ljusgul till guld. Röda äpplen, kryddighet. Jag har tidigare testat 2013 som har en mera snipig syra - denna är mer balanserad och inbjudande. Mycket bra.

January 27, 2022 - Rich, full, hedonistic with mild acid. Not quite as food friendly as normal champagne, but a good post-dinner wine.
