An excellent bottle, from Rare Wine. Deeply mature but well preserved. Appropriate mousse. Very Krug - rye bread, whiskey barrel, caramel, brioche. Good acidity. Full body. It won’t improve so I hope it will hold on for a while.

3rd of 21. 2.5 years since last bottle. This still has massive energy and is laser focused. This did not fully reveal itself over a 2 hour dinner. Continuous glass swirling helped reveal, to some extent, this supremely balanced chiseled beauty but really beauty to be with a finish that simply didn’t end. This probably needs another 5-10 years to reach its prime and will easily drink well for 4-5 more decades. This was exceptional with oysters and held its own with rack of lamb. Revisit 2027

Lemon color, tiny bubbles. On the nose, toast, green apples, hazelnuts and hints of stone fruit. Full and complete on the palate, with great balance and complexity. Excellent acidity and finish that keeps going. Excellent wine.

Very fresh, more youthful than I expected. Excellent persistence and power here. Nothing out of place. This isn’t typically my preferred style of Champagne, but this is delicious and its greatness is evident.
