Rezy13 Does not like this wine:
March 17, 2024 - A bit deeper yellow gold, fatter bubbles at first but when it settled they got finer and looked very enticing; age evident on the nose, slightly musty, soft bruised apple, not full on cidery but leaning more that direction, toast and obvious yeast development, golden fruit; weirdly flat on entry then incredibly sharp and sour on the finish to the point of hurting my throat- never had that happen, am I being poisoned for drinking Champagne on St Patty’s Day?

January 4, 2024 - Pale lemon colour. Apple and lemon dominate the nose, light brioche and grilled almonds added on the palate. Dry and high acidity, fine, persistent mousse. Long finish. Not especially complex but a very good quality aperitif champagne. Has the structure and fruit to age further and perhaps develop some more complexity. I expected more given the provenance, the long ageing (4 years min) and 40% reserve wine share. But still very enjoyable.

March 8, 2023 - Solera HoReCa sortimentsprovning (Operaterassen, Stockholm): (Disgorged in 2022, base year 2017 with 40% reserves, 100% Chardonnay, dosage 5 gr/L)
Lovely youthful nose showing yellow apples, minerals and opens up with butter and some roasted coffee in a very pleasant way. Softened yellow apples acidity with a butter and creamy mid and some lime zest bitterness on the finish.
(Probably best with 0-5 years extra cellaring)
