Pretty pale pink; peach and lemon on the nose; grenadine, lemonade flavor — 4 months ago
This bottle is very reserved. Usually this is a bit more showy. Nose is a bit neutral which means maybe this is aromatically closed? But that palate is all saline, lemon, mineral and huge acid and grip. Like Puligny 1er Cru. Architectural in its structure. Super sappy and dense and so clean. Chiseled. Odd the nose is so reserved. This is so epic on the palate with just enormous density, structure and concentration. Thick yet dry. Let’s see where this goes. Now the nose is starting to show. It’s got that wet earth, wet stones thing going. Huge mineral stank. Now it’s grooving. Nose is all Puligny with flowers and iodine. Brown sugar as well. So elegant. nimble and juicy. Luscious and mouthwatering. Chewy and dense. Unreal mineral sweetness. — 7 months ago
So what to post here. This has a 3x100 rating and I am always suspicious when I see it. 97 to 98 for me. The way this wine is integrated is stunning. Multiple layers of flavors and mellowed tannins with alcohol that is muted in the background. A spectacular rendition and no doubt one of the nicest vintages I have had. Glad we had it together with the other wines and champagnes tonight. — 19 days ago
2008: a very bright young feeling champagne at 17yrs of age. A resolute acidity carries the brioche and white fruits along! I am unapologetic about my fervor for Dom. — 6 months ago
