  My sole bottle of this. Was planning to keep it till 2025, but when a friend invited me over to his place for "all you can eat" Irish oysters and wanted to try a relatively aged BdB, I had to bring this. Right out of the gate - brioche, mineral and green apple. So lithe on the tongue, yet substantial at the same time. the finish was long, in a discreet, understated manner. This was a top notch champagne and I was mightily impressed. My friend, who strongly prefers BdNs, is starting to come round to BdBs, especially those with some age on it..

  Autolytic nose with a nice mix of orchard and citrus fruits, and a hint of nuttiness. Quite open with a forward and slightly richer profile, but excellent cut and acidity. Well balanced and in a really good place already.

  About an hour of air and consumed over two hours.
  
  This was ripping from the start; with time the bubbles softened but a beautifully textured wine with notes of green apple, marzipan, and orange peel. Dense and ripe on the palate, with aggressive attack and long bright finish. Absolutely delicious

  Nice nose of already evolved chardonnay, salty, brioche, chalky, and with candied tangerine.
  
  On the palate, the bubble caresses it with great discretion before the juice settles there, concentrated and dense like honey. The champagne opens directly with delicious flavors of candied fruit and mineral salts. The acidity, although low, remains well integrated and gives balance and freshness to this wine from a hot vintage in Champagne. The palate is still light for this dense and deep wine with a creamy texture, and it is a real pleasure to taste it. Nice salivating finish on chalk and tangerine on a fine but persistent length.
  
  Excellent, elegant and at its peak in my opinion. To drink quietly while waiting for vintages like 2008.

  A superb birthday dinner (Amsterdam): Very fresh, corsé, some cocoa, concentration, ripeness and freshness, very lively and gentle mousse. the ripe citrus in the aftertaste gives a very good balance.
