November 13, 2022 - Fresh and intense, with notes of biscuit, green apple and grilled nuts. The palate is deep, vinous and powerful. It has citrus tang, plenty of chalk and a chewy/ phenolic finish of terrific length.

January 21, 2022 - Fantastic bottle. Big, rich pinot fruit. Incredible texture. Plenty of acid, but it's well integrated. This is in a great spot right now.

July 1, 2018 - Inaugural vintage of this amazing wine. Tons of notes - lemon, orchard fruits, apple peel, toast, carmel, flowers. Good acidity and energy. A really well balanced wine that feels in the plateau but no rush to drink at all. Would love to try this again in 10 years - my guess is it will have moved very little. A wine for the ages.

August 17, 2017 - One of those wines I am thrilled to have tasted, and even happier someone else paid the freight. The debut vintage for this insanely expensive wine showed loads of brioche, apple, Meyer lemon peel. stone, rocks and minerality. Concentrated and lushly textured in its effervescence, clearly, this is a very good Champagne. But there are better places for your $2,500 for a single bottle of wine.

November 7, 2015 - Light funk, strengthening spice and dry white flowers on the racy nose. Floral high notes sweeten with air time. Firm acid on the palate but crisp rather than harsh, light meyer lemon. Good textural complexity but not sticky. Better with more time. 95+
