A touch advanced and not as strong as my last note. This is more copper than that bright red pate-des-fruits. More orange fruited and citrus than red berry but pleasantly smoky and toasty. Still crisp and dry although the effervescence falls off a little. Still good but 91 - 92 instead of my last 93 -94.

Excellent bottle, really surprised by the youthfulness, massive burst of unapologetically juicy raspberry and pate-des-fruits up front. Good weight to the palate as well, nice and dense. A pleasant breadiness too, which I find more in middle aged Blancs. Awesome. 93-94.

Wine Tasted at Acker Auction (Marea - New York NY): Lots of strawberry and tart red cherry on nose and palate, all very powerful. Bit of toast comes through in background. Surprisingly advanced for its age.

From magnum I am big fan of 1995 Comtes Blanc so was really looking forward to try Rose and especially form mag Red currants, earthy, onion chutney, herbal, eucalyptus. wow, what an nose, so complex. On palate herbal, vegetal, beetroot, highish acidity, opulent, long just lacks a bit of concentration to be great. Potential to develop further in magnums
