This is aging very well. 6 more bottles of the 168 in the cellar and very much looking forward to how they will evolve. Right now the 168 is in a great place and the 2nd maturation flavors are beginning to appear. Floral, acidic, Krug, caramel - it’s all there. Early to drink, but much more to come — 2 days ago

Here we are again. It’s a 2004 rose and this is just amazing. Why oh why did I just buy a case of this and not more? Shame on me. This is a spectacular champagne that keeps over-delivering — 2 days ago
Quite pale lemon yellow colour . Still quite constant fine perlage . Some candied peel , light meaty notes , touch of nutty , yeasty richness . On the palate this is quite intense and fresh still , quite full bodied , with some citrus peel , roasted nuts . This is drinking perfectly now , quite rich but enough freshness to balance . Good length, balanced acidity , with a lightly toasty finish . At Noizé , London , 14th Jan, 2026 — 16 days ago
Very nice balance and in it’s perfect window at age 17. Red fruits punctuated with loamy earth tones, nice acidity and a long finish. — 23 days ago

Always a favorite winery and wine. Even after 16.5 years, this bottle offered a beautiful compliment to sushi. The color and clarity held, as did the fruit, which softened and provided an enjoyable, velvety mouthfeel. A mid-week treat! — 11 days ago
