April 22, 2013 - Served as an aperitif at an offline dinner, and a lovely way to start the night! Really beautiful nose of pear brioche, backed apple with hints of lemon, creamy texture and decent acidity with nice, almost pin point effervescence and a medium finish – very nice indeed

January 1, 2013 - Have historically loved the taste/quality of 1999 but this bottle is clearly on the downside of it's life. Overall structure still present but ... If still in your cellar, would suggest thinking about moving it up towards the front of the "drink now" list.

November 10, 2012 - The nose has definitely taken on a more "aged" personality (not quite petrol), with some citrus notes to round it out. Rich, creamy body offers up a delicious mouthfeel with a bit lower acids, but still enough to leave some crispness in the lingering finish. Really enjoyable and approachable now.

December 31, 2011 - Sweet overtones of pear and citrus. Second sip better than the first. Paired well with grilled figs and cheeses. Great now but believe that it's peaked / peaking. Time to drink is now.
