Blue and red fruit, citrus, orange, caramel, brioche, sherry, smoke and flower. So nuanced, delicate and elegant, with just amazing balance and precision. 97

(Took to Degustation, NYC) Light bronzey tinge with delicate mousse. Lacey and delicate nose with slight sweet sherry notes, brioche and sea shore. Slight sherry upfront - very tasty and enjoyable sherry - which quickly faded on the palate. Lovely texture and mineral w/ a little grip. Some dried fruit and caramel notes on the finish. Just gorgeous and incredible with loads of persistence and character. Perfect with small plates, especially quail egg tortilla, croquettes, slow egg and roast beef w/ foie.

Dinner with Friends (Columbus, OH): Bold and full bodied – keeps with the Bollinger style. Some yeasty freshly baked blueberry muffin and unusual, but really nice, darker berry and plum notes superimposed on the expected baking apples and the like. Expansive, complex, and very different. Still young, plenty of acid to balance but a lower acid Champagne overall. Creamy and nutty. Really good. ****/5

Lovely persistence on the back end. Showed its age a bit more than expected but still quite lively. Nose a bit reticent.

Quite burly, if regal, certainly classy with plenty of deep red fruits.

Some Champagnes and a few reds (Columbus, OH): Floral with blue fruits. Deep and deliciously rich and nuanced, lots of Pinot character. Well balanced mousse.
