Nice complexity on the palate with vibrant acidity. Brioche, almond, pear, apricot, lemon, and nice mineral notes. Creamy mouth feel. Went well with seafood risotto. — 3 days ago

Dark hue and based with Pinot Noir. Black cherry, blackberry, grapefruit citrus, pepper and tea makes a structured taste wanting to be elegant but too much sweetness. It’s a good Champagne but not great — 4 months ago

Solid but a bit more bitter than I expected. Tight and focused but less enjoyable for it. Inconsistent with prior bottles. I definitely find the standard Rare more consistent. — 5 months ago

More vigorous than I remember, but I really like the energy and the lifted giger spice finish here. — 4 months ago
