Powerful, complex, and showy now; built to improve. "A powerful, structured and graceful 2005, showing deft integration of the rich, chalky underpinning, firm acidity and expansive flavors of crushed black currant, spring blossom, toasted almond, crystallized honey and preserved lemon. Offers a fine, raw silk—like mousse and a long, spiced finish." WS 94

Traditional at its finest. Toasted almonds, apple, nice acidity.

A bit of a let down to be honest, was expecting more complexity but came across as being a little one dimensional.

I think this has quickly become one of my favorite champagnes out there. Honey nut Cheerios, caramelized sugar, apple compote, beautiful long-lasting spiced finish.
