This is such a seductive wine. It opens lush and creamy, with exuberant peach, asian pear, mango, and pineapple notes which dance around the palate. The opulence is abruptly and violently washed away by a Tsunami of acidity and mouth puckering citrus tones which power a long, resonant finish with stony mineral flavor. It is so silky, so powerful, and so light. An arresting combo. The nose was similarly exciting with a vivid floral top note. The QPR at $24.95 is off the charts, and I am going back for many more — a month ago

Always a hit!
Medium straw color, small delicate bubbles. Aromas of citrus, apricot, eucalyptus and orange blossoms.

Wow...holy cow this is good! Drunk blind against DP 2002 und 2008(!!!) this destroyed both. Combined an insane depth of flavour with freshness. Set a new standard of how a great Champagne should taste! — 3 days ago
