This is actually R23 with 2025 disgorgement

Comes across with great red currant and strawberry on palate.

Super smooth and creamy.

Another fantastic champagne

Excellent wine.

Would have never guessed it was 25 years old.

After some time in decanter and in the glass - it began to show some tertiary and real balsamic notes

But this wine really paired well with risotto. It cut the richness without overpowering and provided some solid fruit and tannin

There is both some power and elegance in this wine that works quite well

This bottle was fire

Incredibly elegant with super smooth tannins.

Great expressive fruit that mixes some cranberry, raspberry and cherry.

Preserved it for a week with argon and it shined both at first open and a week later.

Beautiful wine

Starts out with brightness and sunshine

Moves into citrus and a touch of lime with zest as it breathes.

Really gorgeous

Paired with shrimp risotto and asparagus. Delightful

Excellent wine

Comes out with a lot of spice and depth out of the bottle and a bit tannic.

With some air time - we just did glass and open bottle - it mellowed and was excellent paired with steak and potatoes.
