Just looking at it makes me smile, amazing pale lemon colour with an amazingly persistant fine bead that just screams quality. Subtlety is not this Champagne's strong point, beautifully lifted stone fruit, lemon and marzipan laced with subtle creamy yeasty notes that draw you in. The palate is like heaven, most amazing juicy yet creamy mouth feel, nice citrus and white peach. Great focussed acids leaving my mouth watering after a long lingering finish with lovely honeysuckle. The structure and the richness of this wine is just wonderful.
Wow what a fizz! So beautifully delicate but wonderfully powerful. Juicy and creamy at the same time with great fruit holding its own. Great mouthfeel and the most delicious way to start a meal or celebrate! It's like a party in my mouth!
Now the release of this is very fresh so I'm yet to find a rating out there to reference but I'll be more than surprised if this gets anything under 95 points from any reputable critic. I'm sticking it right there at 95+ points.
Now value for money..... RRP at $120 ouch! Available at most 'Chain' stores around $95 when your bulk purchasing and look seriously I'm not one for paying that kind of money for a bottle to qwoff... I'm thinking for a celebration of sorts then why not throw a bit more in the kitty and upgrade from NV to vintage cause it's a hell of a lot better! Value for money by comparison to buying a Dom Perignon or Krug it is a much more drink now style so if your drinking it then there is value in being able to grab two of these!!So I will leave you now to top up my glass, sit back and enjoy this! I wish I had some caviar or oysters!! Good luck and Happy Drinking!! (cause I'm quite happy now!)
