Truly fantastic champagne! incredibly biscuity on the nose, dark yellow in colour with a freshness on the palate which underlines the overt richness almost tobacco and cream element on the middle palate. Drinking superbly now with ageing potential ahead. If you like krug's full bodied style go for this perhaps instead and save yourself some money.....

Palish in colour suggesting could do with a bit more ageing. Hadn't quite taken on the nutty feel I expected athough creamy with excellent mouthfeel and fairly long in the palate. Good acid and structure not too dis-similar to salon in that it has that almost slight metallic feel at this age. Not sure I enjoyed it although it is without question a high quality wine just missing a dash of brilliance.

Finally this wine comes round! Really showing well now. Tawny in colour, showing that brick element. Ripe, black olives on the nose with a hint of bakewell tart. Almost an element of dare i say it 'saffron' on the palate, cherried fruit with some leather. SHowing very well.
