May 13, 2023 - During 6 stars lunch BOB at Aan de Poel:Deep yellow, rich, fresh, less oxidative notes as expected, apricot, mouth filling, long, beautiful acidity. A beautiful future ahead. As alway a spectacular and reliable champagne.

November 7, 2020 - I opened my sole bottle of 1990 Cuvee Sir Winston Churchill on the evening Biden's Presidential victory was announced (if not now, when)? This has been slumbering in my collection for almost 20 years. A mild pop on opening. Mature pinot noir depth, crushed strawberries, length, balance, some sweetness, not much acidity, minimal effervescence in the glass but tingling is still present on the palate, yellow-tinted hue but not oxidized. Had half the bottle as an aperitif before dinner, stoppered, and remainder was just as enjoyable a day later. Probably would have been better to have this a few years back, given the diminished effervescence of this bottle.

October 17, 2020 - [Magnum] Blind. Moderately oxidative character had me thinking Krug stylistically, but this was more open, lower acid, and seemed to have a lot of red berry to the fruit. Not particularly briochey, more white and yellow fruit with some remaining citrus. Palate was rich and powerful, delivered loads of flavour. Strong effervescence still. Very good.
