Slight musty, oxy notes with lemon and tart citrus, cider; very acidic, a big out of balance IMHO, this shouldn't be a brut nature just for the sake of it. After Krug this didn't show well. Should have come first. Massetto dinner Rocco Borgese

A bit muted on the nose but some nice berries and red fruit with lemon and lime. In the mouth it´s almost undrinkable, the acidity is way too high. Did not finish the bottle.

Disgorged 2014, labeled LB12. Agree with others that this was quite dry with a high acid expression. But I do feel that it was just on that edge where even a drop of additional acidity would have throw it out of balance. I was pretty impressed with the depth and intensity of fruit. I wish that it didn't ride up so close to the edge of balanced/unbalanced and had just a little bit more richness to round it out. But this is a pretty minor nit to pick here.

Disgorged in 2014. Oxidative yellow fruit and lots of salty mineral. The palate is less deep than the selosse initial. Its a bit upfront but quite appealing.
