  December 17, 2023 - This tastes so young. This has a light gold color, but it tastes primarily of green apple, lemon, cinnamon with very light brioche and nuts. We tried this in the James Darsonville champagne glass which we just bought, and compared it as well in a simple Baccarat Perfection flute as well as a Jancis Robinson wine glass (which is narrow). The latter two were similar, and emphasized the brioche and nuts more than the high toned green apple that predominated with the Darsonville glass. Interesting. Either way, this is young champagne with many more years ahead of it. Very fine.

  June 30, 2023 - Obvious depth on the first pour, but this needed an hour to open. Moderate aromas of citrus and nuts. Moderate+ flavors of tart citrus, grapefruit, bread, and praline. Enjoyable now, but somehow still young. Some of the oxidative notes compare to Selosse, but this still needs some time to unwind. Really impressive 95+.

  May 24, 2023 - birthday dinner at Higgins (Higgins, Portland OR): The nose is deep, layered, and absolutely sublime as you just get lost in the glass. There is a ton of complexity as the tones of golden Graham, red apples, quince, toast, brioche, toast, custard, ginger, bread, and vanilla extract permeate in the glass. The Medium bodied feel is textured and deep with tart, high acidity. This is amazing. In some ways, it's hard to put into words everything that is going on. This is a monumental Champagne that is utterly memorable.

  November 6, 2022 - Clearly oxidative in style - amontillado, orange peel, green apple. Nice depth and complexity. Hold.
