Champagne birthday toast. Going to have a southern smoked ribs meal to celebrate. I’m very blessed and thankful.

Aromas of fruit, spice and brioche notes, nice mousse and flow. On the palate fresh fruit flavors of ripe apple with hints of citrus zest. Long finish ending with rich yeasty mineral character. Drinks well now.

Drank 11/8/18. Tasting pour.

Nose of baked almond pastry and yeast, with some light caramel notes. Palate of almonds, green apple, brioche. Delicate mousse, medium finish.

4/22/9/4/3 + 50 = 92 pts

Very intriguing aged champagne with a definite vitality still. Slightly oxidative notes on the nose with poached pear, honey, bruised apricot, and caramel. The palate features bright bubbles, which is surprisingly given its age, medium + acidity, lemon curd, more pear. Lovely bottle and very much still alive. 100% Chardonnay, the "exception" to the rule at Mailly.

Distinct, refined mousse, a nice Champagne with a rich touch, pure Chardonnay - a great Champagne with precision, to open and share with good friends and family 😏👏

Just the right amount of green apple and minerality - a hint more would ruin it. Extremely well-balanced wine.

16.5/20 (90/100) Аромат яблок, ревеня, карамели и бриоши. Высокая кислотность. Прямолинейно яблочное во вкусе. Молодо, пожалуй.
