2014. Enjoyed a small splash at the end of a great birthday meal at The Oven!
Such pure stone fruit and honeyed aromas and flavors with balanced sweetness and acidity. — 4 days ago
Butter, oak, lime? — 21 days ago
Medium lemon yellow fine , persistent perlage . Quite rich and ripe on the nose with some roasted nuts , lemon peel , some camomile , still quite restrained and a little closed. On the palate again quite full and rich , ripe lemon fruit , orange rind , roasted nuts and a creamy mouthfeel , certainly enough acidity to balance but on the richer side . Good length and lightly toasty finish . This is good now but will probably improve over the next few years and last well a further 5-10 . — 15 days ago

#AgedWineTuesday
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.
