Beautifully fresh and intense with lemon, limestone and light floral notes. A powerful palate of bright citrus and an oily persistence in the mid palate with thrilling acidity and tension. Long and vital — 5 days ago
Excellent with notes of white fruits, toast, yeast, and nuts! — 12 days ago
Had co the Modern cover in nyc. So freaking good. Strawberries, mousse, lovely mouthfeel, acidity. — 2 days ago
The nose bursts with ripe yellow peach, mandarin, and dried pineapple, layered with brioche and a hint of white flowers. The palate is plush yet electric, with creamy texture quickly cut by vibrant lemon zest and a light salinity. The finish is precise and long. — 5 days ago

Deep gold in color.
Strong nose and full bodied with medium plus acidity and tiny bubbles.
Dry on the palate and complex.
Showing yellow apples, ripe citrus fruits, spices, sea salt, herbs, minerals, yeast, earth and light brioche.
Long finish with limes and light almonds.
This is a delicious 22 year old Champagne. Rich and fruit forward. Well balanced, complex and entertaining.
Drinking beautifully now, and much better after 90 minutes of airtime. Will continue to age nicely in the next 10 years, and better when not too cold.
Loved how the bubbles integrated with the wine. Vibrant and engaging.
Wine Spectator 97 points. Wine Advocate 95 points.
I've had this vintage a few times before, and it is very consistent.
A great sipping wine that also paired nicely with food.
A blend of 62% Pinot Noir and 38% Chardonnay. Aged for 15 years on its lees.
12.5% alcohol by volume.
93 points.

My last bottle of 2013 Art Series Chardonnay. This remains one of the top Chardonnays in Australia together with Giaconda and Bindi Quartz Block for mine. As per previous note aromatics of white peach and cashew together with mealy notes. Not as full bodied as other Art Series but certainly doing well at 13 years of age. I often identify a dried pear character and this has hints of that. 98 points from James Halliday. — 2 days ago

The color has darkened but it’s still vibrant. The oak is stronger but the lemon isn’t gone and it’s got notes of pear and toast. — 23 days ago

Lemon yellow. Fine bubbles. Elegant aroma with something in the deep area. Creamy. Aged flavor. Changed a lot. Dried brioche came out later and quite impressive. Louis Roederer Cristal 12 @9750, wine plus - vic, 260510 — a month ago

Few bubbles in the glass. Bruised golden apple, golden pear, slightly reductive / sherry-like. Reminded me a lot of the Peter Lauer 1987 Riesling sekt, but with fewer bubbles. An interesting but not crowd-pleasing Champagne. @ Persona, Stockholm — 17 days ago
