  Nick A's 2012 Burgundy Horizontal (Table A) (Noizé, London): Gorgeous. Nose melds a slatey minerality, some grape flesh, a little sherbet pip and a hint of cashew. Palate reveal Cox apple, a touch of grapefruit zest and a refreshing acidity. Just perfectly balanced and very more-ish. With air a focussed lime character emerges on the end palate. If I've had a finer Champagne so far this year I don't recall it.

  Blind, Magnum
  Not reached his peak. Vilmart wines are always fresh and still has an old school style. 92

  Some "mouthwash" before an EPIC Domaine Jamet Cote Rotie dinner. To me, clearly the weakest Champagne of the night if only because the dosage was sticking out (damn all those brut nature or zero dosage growers that I have been drinking).

  All Saints at All Saints (All Saints, Mpls, MN): Light gold color. Drank a glass over an hour. Citrus, apple, orange peel, liqueur, dried apricots on the nose. The palate shows citrus, bready, chalk, and apricot. Elegant, nice weight and energy. In a good spot.

  Magnum. This was a special bottle. Preserved lemon, lime, honey, ginger, brioche. Delicious, and drinking better than the CdC at this point in time. One of my favorites during a week of fine champagne bottles.
