This time was definitely better than previous one. More fruit and nuisance. Maybe needs more time to develope? — 5 months ago

Beautiful expression of the terroir and grape—so alive. Great acidity. Cherry and strawberry primarily. Medium-plus tannins. Chalky earthiness married to faint but heavy flowers—violet and hibiscus. The faintest whiff of cedar and tobacco hits as one drops the glass. — 5 years ago
Decanted 45 min though think it needs more time, very young wine. Very aromatic fruit when opening the bottle. Dark red fruit - black cherry and plum, raspberry; chocolate, coffee, graphite, pepper, plush tannins, well integrated acidity, high ABV but hides it well. Medium finish. Will be interesting to see this evolve over next few years in the cellar. — 6 years ago
First bottle of the 2018s. After 30 min decant, still very tight. I’m betting this vintage needs more time. Will let it sit and update. — a month ago
Pomelo, Hawaiian Punch, rhubarb, sage herbal with a touch of salinity. Fabulous for drinking outside in crown heights. — 3 months ago
Brut Zero Rosé from Tarlant. Grower Champagne with an even split of Pn and Chard; 5% Meunier too. Zero dosage. Terrific bottle of Grower Champagne. Each glass got better and better. Great fruit and great acidity.l — 9 months ago
Nose - watermelon. Tasting notes - raspberry and peach with some healthy sugar/sweetness but not cloying. So fun! — 4 years ago

By the glass with lunch, no formal notes. First time ever trying Khikhvi and I can imagine this is how wine was made 1000 years ago. Obviously extended skin contact with a copper salmon color. Funky fresh nose and complex on the palate with all sorts of interesting fruit and non-fruit things going on. Acid and tannin providing good structure. Certainly a change of pace and quite enjoyable actually. — 6 years ago
As far as my taste is concerned, this is one of the best Champagne I tasted. Drappier and Philipponat match my way of savoring fine wines. I know there is a lot of subjectivity here — a month ago

I am a softie for this wine. I just love its plush approach. Now others put this, in the batch of three Realms (calling it one), either first with me or third behind The Bard. They clearly are outliers and now outsiders (ha!). It worked with the citrusy starters and as a first glass of the night - wonderful. — 3 days ago
