  Next to 85 Krug. Fresh, hazelnut, popcorn, sweet, vanilla, caramel, apricot, lemon. Still quite young, decently large, requires patience. 94

  Acker's Post-COVID BYO, Dinner and Auction Simulcast (Craft - New York NY): Small glass, brief note. Bready and toasty with mature apple, baked apple. Good weight, better length. If you really like fully mature Champagne, this is great, but I appreciate this wine more than it thrills me.

  A wine of insolent youth. Still intense bubble
  
  Fruity, chalky nose, which will evolve towards the floral aromas that characterize these old Dom Pé.
  
  The mouth attacks gently with a nice freshness. Then we slowly go up in range and in power, the aromas develop, always very fruity at first, but the wine unwinds, we start with very powerful tertiary aromas, a feeling of cocoa in the mouth, to come back to rest on dried flowers. The balance is perfect, the wine sings its score without missteps. We evoke several registers which are played to perfection, with ample substance and well-cut acidity. Its youth and its polymorphous character really enchanted me, it almost feels like drinking a different wine with each sip. The finish is of the same ilk, fine but long, fresh, on fresh fruits such as peach.
  
  Marvellous

  Les’s bottle. Dramatically deeper, richer, more powerful than the standard ‘85 - to me and one other person. But the other 6 all thought it was corked.
