Lovely minerality, light, ethereal, light yeast, super fine delicate bubbles with very good length and intensity. Apples and underripe pear with rocky minerals. Before Thanksgiving dinner.

Monopole Champagne Extravaganza: Sticks and stones, mineral notes, very cut and dry, light limesone earth, bright pear. More precision on this, excellent balance without being austere. Love this style. 92-93.

Medium gold color; mature nose, slightly honeyed with ripe apple dominant; nicely balanced. More aged character than expected. Time to drink these.

16th Annual Lyon 10 Year Retrospective (Same Old Place): This stood out for being more crisp, dry, and dominated by chardonnay notes. Very vinous. Excellent, but not the depth and balance of the Bollinger.
