January 5, 2024 - Shiny pale yellow-gold with green tint, and with small refined bubbles. Lemon, green apple, brioche, nuts, white flowers, honeysuckle, and minerality. High acidity, medium structure, medium finish. Fresh and youthful. Lots of finesse and seductive. This bottle would need more years to reach optimal drinking window.

January 5, 2024 - This one is still rockin the party, but now starting to calm and show a little more class. Bright beam of citrus, with a slight tinge of tropical exotics…LOVE the crushed rock minerality and salted caramels…white flower florals…such a lazerbeam of precision, yet has that pillow soft gingery mousse that creams it up nicely. Shows a wonderful purity and subtlety…I’d drink this all day long if I could!

No longer tight, but still presents as very young. Bright and crisp, but not austere. Gives the impression it has a long life ahead.2 people found this helpful Comment -

September 1, 2023 - A truly enjoyable bottle-the score inches up by the year! I agree that this will be most viable in 3-5 years, but the evolution is quite something. Today, a distinct white pepper element added to the creamy side of Blanc de Blancs,along with some serious new brioche tones, lemon, toasty side notes --and a tad too much underlying residual sugar (though not at all obstructive). The balance will get even better soon. Delightful.
