Director North America for Ornellaia and Masseto
From magnum. Fragrant, deep, with that bit of mechanic oil and gun powder. Austere on the palate. Still way too young. — 10 years ago
2012 vintage. Big wine, well structured for aging. Very aromatic, with spices, ginger, tangerine, only a bit simple, and could use more acidity ... — 10 years ago
All elegance and femininity, world class. — 10 years ago
Gorgeous wine! Especially for the price $29.99 at Tarry Market. Thanks Morgan Pruitt for suggesting it. A laser cut, Chablis like minerality and precision, with an earthy, aromatic side, — 10 years ago
A bit heavy handed for me, but unquestionably beautiful, with power but also mineralogy and enough freshness. — 10 years ago
This was from a magnum disgorged April 2004. Never had a Champagne like this before, spiced strawberries, orange rind, rose petals. Unreal wine! — 10 years ago
Beautiful wine! Amazing value ... Lots of stuff in this bottle. — 10 years ago
Ripe and big, unusual for the vintage, a slight hint of green, but overall a very pleasant surprise and lots of life ahead. — 10 years ago
2000 vintage. This guy doesn't do wrong, what a beauty, explosive nose of lemon zest, bees wax, citrus honey, vibrant, unreal midpalate density ... Just marvelous. Thanks Goldy! — 10 years ago

Enjoying it a lot! Not quite Grand Cru level or premier, but it does remind me of that 2004 Leflaive Bourgogne Blanc and certainly if tasted blind would not come out as "new world". Thanks a lot Peter for suggesting!! — 10 years ago
