Medium gold color - some oxidation after 20 years but incredible power in the palate. Meyer lemon, chamomile and wet stone minerality, green apple, pear and white peach with raspberry and wild strawberry coming out with time in the glass. Toast, pastry, brioche all testify to the time on the lees. Terrific structure and vibrancy and wildly long finish. Exceptional example of aged Champagne.

WOY for me to date, this is insanely deep, powerful and pure, in the age vintage I would think this is a hard one to beat for a blend. Layer after layer, revealing so many dimensions of complexity and depth. It's rare I find a Champagne that beats almost all the top labels, this just about does it for me, would have to try more 2005 like Salon, Krug, etc. to see for sure but this is outstanding!

17.5/20 (94/100) Выглядит существенно старше, чем 2006, в первом носе много грибов, этому шампанскому нужно дать подышать. Раскрывается комплексным ароматом сыра бри, мандаринового джема, мёда, цукатов из ананаса и бриоши. Тельное, с высокой кислотностью. Насыщенное во вкусе. Отлично!

Härlig färg och pigg mousse. Riktigt djup champagne med mycket bakade äpplen, ostronskal och brödighet. Tydliga fatdrag. Har en fyllig munkänsla med riktigt koncentrerat skaligt smakbett som känns gamla stockar? Bra ålder. Gillar 05.
