V07. Had to check in, since I've been so happy with Boulard-Bauquaire BdB, and frequently compared it to this wine. Much more age, but, and I hate to say this, but I think the Boulard-Bauquaire is a better wine (than this btl anyway, my last btl of V10 was stunning). Anyway, the 07 is rich and slightly oxidative in style, with loads of lemon, almond, a touch of copper. On the palate, lovely acidity, hi-toned lemon, grapefruit pith, almond cream, and copper-infected honey...ok finish. Actually, oops, my last btl. Oh well.

On the nose: Vanilla, apple, oyster, mineral and fudge. On the palate: Vanilla, green apple and citrus, mineral, high acidity. Very good at this point in time. Medium + finish

A touch oxidative, creamy citrus, coppery honey. On the palate, softer acidity than expected. Soft bubbles, and a touch of grapefruity bitterness on the finish. Ok, but not up to Leclapart standard...probably slightly damaged at some point.

Interesting, but not as compelling as the 2010. Some reductive notes with apple, and a hint of tangerine with a slight suggestion of cider. On the palate, good acidity, a suggestion of sherry and more tangy apple. Not bad, but maybe this btl was past peak?

On the nose: Sea shells, apple, oyster, mineral and citrus. More to the cidre direction. But if you, close your eyes and deep dive you will find the fudge tones. On the palate: Very distinct green apple, dry with a high acidity. You can also find some marzipan, citrus and salt. Medium + finish

Något tydligare, mer utmejslade smaker av citrus och levainbröd än i den vi drack tidigare. Välbalanserad. Klarade till och med av sardell/tomatpastan.

On the nose: Seville orange, apple, mineral and citrus. Not a "normal" champagne nose. On the palate: Very distinct green apple, dry with a high acidity. After a while in the glas some marzipan, citrus and salt. Medium + finish

Stor något udda rotfruktig doft från start. Men också jäst, rostat bröd och citronkarameller. Äpplig i smaken. Sansade sig betydligt – och blev lite tråkigare – efter rejäl luftning. Spännande.

See previous notes. The fill level was low (from the same batch as the 3 I drank) and this btl was tasty, but not at the level this wine can be at...
