Opened for Mrs R’s birthday following an inspirational meal at Sushi Tetsu. The nose was strong of quince and pastry, the palate was a lovely, balanced mix of lemon acidity and round stone fruit. Riesling-esque fizz. A bit of spice in there too. Lovely stuff. Only have one bottle left, no real rush to drink it I’d say.

A note I forgot to add during my London trip. Caught this last bottle in sale at selfridges and couldnt resist 2004.
I wasnt disappointed, disgorged 2013 this was gorgeously mature and tasty. Again missing the detailed notes because of only thick Hotel glasses but very fine bubbles (not sooo many anymore), good structure and rather full bodied. Acidity still there but already calming down. Great fruit and some autolytic notes.
Was extremely drinkable... Much better than the BP 2004 Assemblage I had in oct 17 (needed more time).
