May 1, 2024 - To Tony (La Grange Park, IL): You know what -- this was better than the Krug I had a few days ago. Shocker, I know. But this was everything the Krug was missing: more of a structure, more acidity, just more oomph overall. Chewy structure, mature fruit, but also holding so much minerality and balanced acidity. A real surprise of a bottle.

May 31, 2023 - Drinking beautifully now. Light color belied the pleasing Lemon-pear, nutty taste.

April 21, 2023 - Bienvenue a Champagne; 4/20/2023-4/29/2023 (Les Crayeres, various restaurants, Les Avises and a many wonderful producers): Absolutely great wine. Always love these old LGDs and this one was no different. It’s relatively evolved in style so nutty and bready and overall excellent.

Tasted non blind. Tasted from MAGNUM.
Yellow color in the glass, clear looking throughout with medium beading. Nose of sherry, brandied pers and caramel. Flavors of cherries, lemons and candied pears. Bright acidity, full bodied. Drink or hold. I'd lean towards drink.
