Orange tinged pale golden colour. Excellent pure nose of apricot, iodine and spices. Unctuous on the palate yet supported by a great backbone of acidity. Great depth of flavour and very satisfying length. A great wine by any standard. — 8 months ago

From the house where the brut Champagne was invented, the NV bottling is equal parts Chard/PN/PM from 40 crus, with about 30% reserve wine, and spends 36 months on lees.
Pear, green apple, lime, peach, and light crusty bread, the nose showcases more Chardonnay characters. Bright, youthful, yet delicate in the palate.
Lacking a bit complexity and intensity, but I like the roundness and balance here. — 3 years ago
Probably the best bottle of this I’ve had. Perfectly matured classical Rioja. Black cherries, some caramel, no tannins left and piercing acidity. — 3 years ago

Earthy, blue fruit, smoked pork, olive brine, more alcohol on the nose than I recall, nice cigar smoke, dark ruby almost purple yet bright still, terroir driven with a sense of place. I feel like royalty with every sip. — 5 months ago
