Sweet creamy with a little coffee maturity. Finishes with depth length and bright acids. Not powerful but in perfect balance.

Magnum, not really feeling this one too much, a little too developed, but went really well with the squab/foie, great pairing.

What a beauty! Layered, complex and a very mature lady. It was as elegant as can be and didn't disappoint. Perfectly aged and just spectacular. Almost had to rate it as a completely separate champagne because it was so different from the others.
