  Very deep and rich, lots of patina, earthy elements, bruised apples, quince, stone fruit. Mature, drink up.

  In Paris at private dinner. From the Queen of Ambonnay who sadly has now retired. Very vibrant red apple / pinot noir markers with the noticeable oxidative notes only emerging later after extended aeration. Lots of midpalate presence that seems to fill every corner of the mouth in a very matt package. A monolith in the mouth! Very sapid on the finish. This shows great freshness and is just hitting its stride.

  Nose: The nose was showing its age as this bottle was clearly at a mature stage with tones of crisco, marmalade, red apples, creams, custard, pears, honeycomb, red flowers, biscuits, pastry notes, and warm dough. There is a lot of complexity to the nose, but it just seems to be lacking something that I can’t put my finger on.
  
  Taste: The feel is Medium bodied with crisp and well-integrated, high acidity. The feel is well textured and balanced with marmalade, red apples, creams, pears, honeycomb, biscuits, pastry notes, and warm dough.
  
  Overall: This is fully mature and this bottle may have been right on the other side and on its slow way down. It’s still a gorgeous and classy champagne with a lot of Lees-driven notes that are backed up by mature citrus tones.
