Popped yesterday. Notes from today. A sublime drop. Lovely oxidative style BdB with loads of sweet meyer lemon, lemon oil, and a coppery tinge. On the palate: fantastic acidity, density. Mousse is mostly dissipated now, but this shows real secondary notes with honey and hazelnut drizzled over the primary core of lemon. Good length, and glad I drank this now rather than waiting longer...in a wonderful place.

Oh man, what an explosive Champagne! Impressive, multi layered and very long. Mysterious champagne. Austere. But....the bottle was empty in 15 minutes. Please more!! Buy if you find one!

Exquisite n delicate. Very, very dry. Slight grape citrus zest. First nose was a blow, that didn’t really deliver.
