Nice yellow colour. Nose: Dried fruits, nutty, a wonderfully powerful nose. Taste: Aciduc attack, fruity side appears after., medium length. Only disappointment is the fairly short length. Hence the 89 could be 88 or 90, depending on where emphasis is placed.

Zingy limey limestony thing on the nose. Six to 7 years on the lees. Zippy and powerful on the palate and while I like it I am not sure the house is up to the task of making a wine this straight and linear. On the other hand, I betcha it would also compare to quite a few Grand Marks and maybe even some of their Tete Cuvees and come out ahead.
Dominque notes that the carbonation is different here. And maybe its the age.
And it does have a long big finish.
