October 16, 2020 - Solid 92+, in really good shape, nice rich yeasty nose with pinot fruit, touch almonds, mouthfeel is full and has good lift, long finish. Very nice if not complex or having finesse. Sandy's old champagnes dinner.

Tim Heaton Likes this wine:
June 9, 2020 - Still offering good freshness (and a lighter color than expected), and quite tight bubbles. The finish is med, and times, medium+. Nice, and if I was offered some at $50-$70, I'd likely be a buyer. Based on this bottle, it's got plenty of material and structure to easily show at this level another five years. 12,5% abv. recommended

December 25, 2018 - On the mature side for Champagne, with lots of nuttiness, etc. Not terribly complex, or anything, but quite delicious and very neat to drink.

July 28, 2018 - This bottle seemed to have the least mouse of any I have had so I think it is getting to the end of the line. Still good but I would not buy more unless it was a newer vintage.

January 20, 2018 - Nose of honey and buttered toast. Lots of licorice on the pallet. Very mellow with fine mist. Drank over 2 hours and the last few glasses were kind of like something between a champagne and a still wine. Quite a difference experience than the typical champagne. Very enjoyable, have one bottle left and will consume it later this year because I think it is nearing the end of its drink window.
