Impressive bottle with good richness and complexity the only complaint maybe a tad to much dosage but very enjoyable !

Amazing fruit, complex, tastes great even when the bubbles dissipate a bit.

2004. Nose reflected a bit of its age and had great elements of brioche and pear tart.

2004-vintage.
A dead ringer for Champagne.
My fellow dinner companions blind guessed this as vintage Champagne as old as 1985.

Great nutty toasted brioche thing. Bubbles a little strong or would have rated even higher. Still could use some time.

Languid torpor, streambed hot summer pebbles. Blazing dry hills; lupine, buckeye on a bed of nectarines.

Quite possibly one of the best bottle of Bubbly that we have ever drank ! Butter, brioche , green apples. Super vigorous. The hit if the night !
