March 26, 2023 - Really enjoyed this. At PnP, came across as very oxidative but after an hour it levelled off and was drinking great. Plenty of bubbles, rich flavor.

November 21, 2021 - Med Lemon
Mineral nose with lemon, orange, and light floral notes
Finely beaded mousse with tight bubbles. Palate is creamy even through that and shows lemon, orange, ripe peach and maybe even some lime back there.
Thoroughly enjoyable even tho these Special Club bottles are a b!t$h to get into the cellar. -

October 2, 2021 - Solid bottle, Rich flavors, some bready notes, intense acidity. medium/heavy body. This seemed like it was starting to hit early maturity. Not rush, but always a good pick.

July 9, 2020 - From 75cl, good layered Champagne cork. The last of 3 bottles purchased, and the best one. Tiny bubbles, intense pure red-apple pinot noir character, broad palate balanced by noble acidity, a bit short on the finish. It is what it is: delicious wine, but relatively simple and straightforward. 90-91P
