Really good grip and then with more air time it softened up and expressed a lot of fruit. Bravo — 6 days ago

I enjoyed this.

Decanted about 1.5 hours.

At first opening - the aroma was quite ripe and fruity.

The wine became denser and showed more savory flavors as it aired out.

Paired with A5 wagyu strip steak pan fried and sliced.

Very good for an off vintage

From double magnum. The 2nd such bottle from auction

Cork survived and bottle was opened at 230 for a 6pm dinner. First pour at 430pm and this wine was showing nicely.

Overall a crowd pleaser and good balance of fruit and structure.

Love this champagne. I think my last bottle of it

A lot of finesse and very smooth. Drinking from a red burgundy glass.

Has a nice consistent sweetness to it that is balanced by a citrus flavor such that it’s a pleasant sweetness and not sugary.

Delicious

Favorite Greek winery and over 13 years since going to visit it on our honeymoon.

Saltiness and floral notes. Very good seafood pairing.
