I absolutely loved it - not a krug or Cristal but it you like finesse and elegance and structure versus over the top powerful champagne like I do then this will speak to you - some sweetness but really not made that way - big smile - I think it is it’s prime drinking window

Looking a little more developed than the last time I opened this one, doesn't have the acidic backbone to really stand the test of time. But still quite solid, the best I've had of this has been the '96.

Aging, dried apples and candied grapefruit. Baked pastry and roasted cashew. Sublime as the aging flavors remain driven by tense minerality and brings clean, polished drinkability. Acid is lowering.
