    February 20, 2024 - Pop-opened another bottle. Same tasting notes as last time in September 2022. Fantastic!

    February 3, 2024 - Bring a Great Nebbiolo (Chez Goldberg, Greenwich Village, NYC): Lovely pale rose color. Sweet red fruit on the nose. Intense bubbles. Complex juicy peaches and cherries. A joy to drink.

    December 15, 2023 - Champagne Tasting $120+ (Bin 75 Alpharetta, GA): Deeper salmon color; medicinal cherry, blood orange, yeast and showing some good power and drive but this was really young and needed the food to tone it down enough to enjoy a little more; this bottle was really youthful so I'd suggest another 5 years or more before this starts to soften.

    December 8, 2023 - Eugene's birthday: Incredible freshness to this. High but not austere acidity, blood orange and raspberry notes. Lovely minerality and drive. Fantastic showing.

    December 2, 2023 - nice bottle. not a wow by any stretch. after an hour open it smoothed out as was a tad bit aciditic. well made and probably could use more bottle age to further development albeit nothing wrong w drinking now.

    first glass maybe 91 pts. 93 based on last glass which was kinda nice and much smoother.

    regardless, was hoping for a bit more complexity. won't rebuy but also won't say no if it comes my way again in any get togethers. just that with so so so so so so many champagnes out there, and for this price, I'd much prefer to go for another option. IE the Henri Giraud NV rose I had last month was infinitely better.
