Surprisingly both fruit forward and tannic, with Sandy, dusty tannins tightening things up at the outset. Nose of latex, black cherry, overripe plum, and even some hints of dark leather. Deep red in color, with some purple hues flecking to the edges, the palate is at first juice, with prominent ripe, red/black fruits, with a juiciness that lasts long after your first sip. There’s also a prominent freshness to the finish, menthol like, with hints of balsamic, steak juice, iron and eucalyptus at the finish, — 3 years ago

A treat of a vintage bottling and a bit of a steal at $60. More focused than NV bottlings I’m more accustomed to. Less busy, more naturally balanced letting a bit of complexity shine through. Nothing life changing, but you can spend a lot more on less impressive Champagne. From the bottle shop at Bern’s. — 10 months ago

An excellent champagne for the price. Itwas really good! The nose was floral with a hint of brioche, and the palate was also floral and had lemon, green apple, apricot and a honey aftertaste. — 7 years ago
