Don’t think this is the same sku…this is vintage- this out of Magnum. 2005 and disgorged date was 8/2022. 17yr on lees!! This wine was incredible. Rich, deep and leesy without being overblown or nutty. The color was great. Brilliant hay. In a line up of amazing, rare and prized wines, this was the wine of the night and made everyone pause.

Classic Bouzy! Great intensity, ample body and fruit, expansive and just downright delicious with food. Love the weight, this made for an amazing and versatile cheese wine with its richness and fresh acid. Golden fruits, orchard blossoms, bing cherry and red currant, sweet cream, white tea, chalky minerality. 65 PN 35 CH; 9 years on lees; 3/2011 disgorgement; >7g/L dosage
