Tasting note: This elegant, complex Champagne has a mature bouquet of smoke, dried red
fruits, lemon and spice flavors set in relief by the bracing structure.
Well-integrated and intense, with a lingering finish of roasted walnut,
citrus and wood smoke. (93pts. BS, Wine Spectator)

Drink: Through 2018
Tasting note: Brassy gold. Powerful, pungent, complex,
lightly oxidative bouquet of toasty lees, apple butter, peach nectar,
cured meat and dried rose. Full and chewy, with decadent dried fruit and
nut flavors accented by deeper toffee and caramel tones. There's
surprising energy here, and subtle lift to the flavors. Almost sweet on
the long, toasty finish, with a persistent note of marzipan. (92pts. JR, Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar)
