(Phillipponat "Clos de Goisses") Absolutely stunning bottle of Champagne and my favorite 1996 from the vintage so far. Exotic intense nose of golden delicious apples, spice, yeast, minerals and wonderful salinity. Palate is a huge crescendo of fruit, spice and minerality with that killer '96 acidity that extends the neverending finish. Young but mindboggling.

WT's birthday. Not flawed, but there should have been fireworks and they just weren't there. As W put it: "dull".

A Charity event plus two days of birthday celebration; a memorable three day weekend.; 10/13/2023-10/15/2023 (Samish Hill, Bellingham, WA): I wanted a bold wine to blow away the tasting group. While I would never turn down a glass of this, I found it a bit dull. Definitely not corked, and not oxidized, just not terribly exciting. Dense, with great cut; some apricot, apple, mushroom. July 2006 disgorgement.

excellent - lovely richness combined with laser focus. So drinkable. Confected grapes initially before opening up to gingerbread. Not very broad - but long and very mineral and acidic finish. Solid 95

No notes taken. This needed a lot of air in the glass to open up more and become rounder and more harmonious. In the end it was quite good although still not reveling a lot. I guess this will need another 10 or 20 years to blossom into a the great Champagne it possibly is. I usually pass on new vintages of this cuvee. I don‘t find it interesting to buy something that needs decades to just come out of its shell, let alone to reach peak maturity. 93/94

A finely chiseled and detailed wine, starting off humble and then building increasing presence. Fruit of lime and citrus with some orange zest complexity. Caramel and toffee notes. Mineral flavors of steel. After a while adding smoke, Cognac and blood orange. Electric acidity with additional nutty complexity on the palate. This may well be one of the best bottle of Champagne I’ve had to date (i.e. comparable to the likes of 2008 Krug Cos Du Mesnil, 1996 Krug, Sélosse Substance dég. 2016, Cirstal 2008, 2012).
