April 6, 2018 - So much better than we thought it would be. Some Champagne at this age seems old, this was beautiful. Tasted like mature Burgundy with abundant bubbles. Great wine to drink, I don’t know if it will improve. Doesn’t need to, drink now.

November 6, 2015 - Bakte epler, pærer og karamell. Bra syre og spenstige bobler. Godt moden, men flott til vårruller.

October 18, 2015 - Nose of pear, peach, wet slate, and yeast, medium size mousse and medium amount of fine bubbles, more of the same on the palate, good acid for a 19 year old champagne, medium body, drinking very well today so I suggest you give it a try as it is not improving, long finish.
