Bready, yeasty, perfect tiny persistent perlage. Pears and honeyed Hawaiian bread. Ripe with full acidity. Bottles at the end of last decade, opened at the end of this decade. Cheers to 2020!

At the Come Taste the Stars Dinner hosted by Tyson Stelzer. Tyson was gobsmacked by this Champagne giving it 100 points. The colour was Salmon with a touch of copper. Strawberry notes with rose petals. Louis Roederer have been working hard on their biodynamic regime in the vineyard. Biodynamics create greater vigour in the vine allowing the roots to penetrate deeper into the chalk. Incredible depth length and precision - stays in the mouth for minutes. Only 31 bottles came to Australia and 8 bottles used up on this dinner. One could write pages about the production techniques used in this Rose Champagne - like Carbonic Maceration of the Pinot bunches by Jean-Baptiste Lecaillon the winemaker. At Montrachet Restaurant in Brisbane.

Wine Nerd Heard early arrival gathering was greeted with this 1988 Cristal Rosé. Such a gorgeous and lively wine despite its age. Fine bubbles, balanced fruit and acid. Special bottle.

@Joe Lucca said it best, on its own this wine is a knockout, against the 88 Cristal it is no comparison. Agree 100%. Lacked defined elements and seemed to muted and closed down.
