  PnP, drank over a 7 hour window for Mrs. Chugwine's 36th birthday dinner. Side by side with a 2018 Ultramarine and a 1998 La Grande Dame. Strong mousse, enjoyable, lemon zest, tangerine and white flowers on the nose. Mouth watering acidity, loved it, kept me coming back. Definitely not a Salon or Selosse, but for a price point of $80, this is a grand slam. Great bottle, wish I had more, will try to find more.
