17 years old but still going strong! Walnut, warm butter, apricot, sweet tobacco. This elderly lady paired quite nice with a codfish in a crust made of toasted/crumbled white bread, lemon zest, Parmesan, onion and garlic. — 7 years ago

Round, creamy structure after the most bright citrus, floral bouquet on the nose. White violet, lemon followed by earthy, toasted walnut. If you're reading this, you understand that this wine jumps across all spectrums. The toasted walnut finish is wild. — 9 years ago

Micro-bubbles galore, Yum! This might be close second for a Friday evening standard for @David T but tonight it is flowing into glasses on the complete opposite side of the Country. A wonderful Blanc de Blanc Champagne.

Nose has freshly scrubbed lemon, grapefruit peel, sliced Granny Smith apple, wet chalk, cold brioche and Gardenia blossom in a breeze.

Palate is fresh orange peel, grapefruit peel (like really wow), tart green apple, fresh walnut, crunchy brioche with a little hint of sweetened butter and a splash of acidic ocean water.

Finish is intense, yet elegant and lasting for many minutes. We are quite looking forward the the evolution of this bottle across the evening, as it warms from 46°F and gains air time.

Thank you @David T @Sofia Jalilie for allowing us into your week closing tradition. The next bottle should have us closer together. — 7 years ago

There was some must and funk in the nose initially, that flashed off. Afterwards, it had a pleasant cinnamon/ baking spice aroma. Very light and drinkable. Not jammy. A bit of walnut, blueberry, and black licorice on the finish. I liked it and would buy again. — 9 years ago

Medium mahogany hue. On the nose, walnut, date, honey and prune. Furniture polish. On the palate, deep, alluring and intense with a very long finish. Good acidity and surprisingly fresh. Went very well with my cheese plate. Great value. — 10 years ago
