side by side with the 08 version. this was a wonderfully crafted champagne. very well balanced. only complaint might be that it was slightly on the sweet side.

Asparagus Bday Celebration at ES BK. Drank in Gabriel Standart. Appearance is clear, medium intensity, yellow gold colour. Thin legs. Fine bubbles. Nose is clean, medium+ intensity, with aromas of toasty brioche, citrus lemon. Developing. On the palate, dry, high acidity, medium- alcohol (12.5%), medium body. Medium+ flavour intensity, with flavours of ripe citrus lemon, ripe peach, yellow + green apples. Sweetish long finish. Good stuff. Just feels damped down due to the side by side comparison with the excellent 2008. Slightly riper and sweeter with just slight lower acidity sensation, and not showing minerality.

still comes across as a bit young. Time in glass and a bit of temperature makes wonders

Gold. Orchard fruit and lemon aromas. Nice mix of dough, nut skin and lemon zest flavors. Clean and bright. 92.
