  This bottle was great! Definitely better than previous bottles. Not sure why - same disgorgement and storage.

  Christmas Cornucopia WIMPS #172 14th December 2023 (La Trompette, Chiswick): Clean lemon and lime nose, some hints of sherbet and sliced Granny Smith apple. Palate has lovely acidity and poise. Plenty of life ahead. With some air the palate adds some lime juice and grapefruit pith.

  Quite delicious. Disgorgement June 2017. This is the first bottle I've tried of the few I bought. Some lovely bready, toasty development, but overall this still shows as youthful and bright (not painfully bright like some younger grower Champagnes though). Lovely lemon acidity with a bit of creaminess. This one proved very versatile at a restaurant pairing brilliantly with a course of tomato and ricotta salad, and also with spaghetti alla nerano (the lemons popping out and melding superbly with the dish). Really nice Champagne.

  Greatest Hits of the 1980s and 1990s Bordeaux (Hawksmoor Guildhall): A nice light frothy mousse, very fine effervescence, but one that fades quite quickly, possibly due to wide glasses used. Nice complexity with citrus, apple and melon, and a good dollop of bread. Quite toasty actually. I would describe this as relaxed and generous, quite mellow.
