One of my very favorite growler champagnes, from an epic vintage.

Clean, crisp, fresh, but surprisingly lacking depth and complexity especially considering vintage.

fortunately recently found a small supply for $55/b, less than release price, and it’s even more delicious due to that price. Just scrumptious crunchy bright yellow orchard fruit and citrus, not at all oxidative or yeasty, just lovely, fresh, and delicious. This is real bright and fresh. The 2011 wasn’t at this level, 96 was/is stupendous, and I’m hooked. I don’t know who Angeline is but I love her very much.

loved the 96 recently so I had to find 08, a Kermit Lynch wine. It’s really good, too. Great finesse and balance and a nice thickness/density. Really good juice.
