First bottle was slightly corked. The second bottle was outstanding. Lemon curd, tart.

wow. Wow. Wow. Stunning. Thick yet not heavy lime, lemon, pear, intertwined with minerals and lifted by perfectly integrated acidity. Leads with the lime, just beautiful wine. The texture and depth are impressive. I’ve been drinking 3 or 4 champagnes a week the past many weeks and this one leads the pack. Wow.

Tangerine oil, lemon peel, and roasted almond notes in a wine with great depth and character. This winner is young and in need of more cellarage. Outstanding potential!
