(Pierre Gimonnet et Fils "Spécial Club de Collection" Brut) ($108.00) My notes are consistent about how incipient this wine is, in contrast to the generally friendly open nature of ’02. This is disgorged 12/10, and one feels it ready to erupt like popcorn kernels in a hot popper. It’s almost got the Magnum-personality even in bottle. Patience is needed, and will, I think, be justified.
