With 2 hours of Audouze style airing the wine was absolutely singing! Tremendous freshness, lovely minerality and a superb finish this wine is a tremendous overachiever! — a month ago

This 2006 vintage is disappointing. Needs 2.5 hours decant. It’s outer core is herbaceous, brambly, earthy, tobacco but has a well balanced core of dark fruit, blueberries. The core has a nice balance and finish but offset but the sheet herbaceousness of the outer layer. — 2 months ago

Popped and poured into two glasses my favorite Zalto and Reidel Sommelier series. Wow wildly different noses! The former super focused that latter very broad and diffuse. On the palate initially earth, black fruit but not noticeably marked as a 2003 vintage. Over time the red fruit emerges as the wine is supremely elegant Alamo’s surprisingly so! Was clearly wine of the night! — 2 months ago

Despite the Brut Nature label I found it a bit sweet! Nevertheless lovely acidity, very fresh, crisp, and the elegance of a Blanc de Blanc. — a month ago

Extraordinarily polished for so young a wine, rich, plummy, with multiple flavors all well integrated, long finish. Absolutely worth opening one now though will likely pay off if held for long term aging. Likely good for another two decades — 2 months ago

With a 2 hour decant this wine is very approachable, beautifully balanced with notes of raspberries, blueberries, blackberries, leather, tobacco all brilliantly integrated. While this should continue to improve with age can be opened now with a decant. — 2 months ago

With a 45 minute decant this wine was amazing well balanced, seriously underrated and went brilliantly with the pasta with lamb ragu. — 2 months ago

Slow oxed for 69 minutes with more acid than the DRC GE. Berries, cherries, dark, well balanced but was blown away by the DRC GE tonight. — 2 months ago
