The OG before the label change. Just stunning and so toasty. Brioche, saline and super elegant. Such fine bubbles. So so good. Likely the first vintage I ever sold. — 3 months ago

First time with this since June 2023. Super saline nose, green apple, almost like inner earth minerals from some long abandoned rock quarry. What a palate. Unreal mousse. Super toasty and yeasty and the caressing mousse is just brilliant. So juicy and unreal lime zest, flesh and meyer lemon and faint but ripe green apple. It’s so lush but also a mineral explosion. Unreal. What poise and texture. So sappy and complex. Unreal structure. Juicy and so clean but needs air and air it will get. Wow with air what cut and salinity. The minerality is nuts — 3 months ago
16/17 blend. Bottled April 2018. Disgorged Oct. 2022. What a color. Now that’s salmon. Nose is gorgeous strawberry, watermelon, minerals and it’s so clear and so clean. Just gorgeous. Floral and airy. Very attractive and provocative nose. Unreal concentration and the fruit is all sour cherries, sour sweet apples. Wow this is concentrated and the bubbles are so fine. This is superb. Sapid and dense but oh so light on its feet. Just terrific fruit and purity. This will improve with air but so much to like. The fruit is almost fruit skins. Some flesh but mostly skin. Such balance. Wonderful inner mouth aromas. So delicious. Saline finish. Can’t wait till this opens more. Wow this is salty! So good. Fleshing out with air. Tremendous architecture to this wine. Now there is citrus, and gorgeous florals and deeper watermelon. The nose is like a 9.7. Also a feral element that adds complexity. Amazing. So chewy and dense and just insane complexity. Needs to get more elegant and it will. With air comes great finesse and a brilliant, very integrated textured and all parts. Very fine stuff. Unreal density and structure here, anchored by world class finesse and length. — 4 months ago
