93ptsWS: "A tangy, citrus- and nut-flavored Champagne, with a distinctive gum-tingling sensation. Starts out rich, turning lean and tightly wound on the finish. Fine coffee-tinged aftertaste. Drink now through 2020." –BS

Terrific balance between the racy structure, candied berry fruit and creamy texture add up to a winning combination. Still youthful, with a hint of yeast and an assertive finish. This will age well. Drink now through 2015.

A beautiful bubbly. Firm, dry and intensely flavored, offering candied berry, vanilla pastry, honey and hazelnut notes wrapped in an elegant frame. It releases the flavors in a well-defined, appealing manner. Fine length and aftertaste. Drink now through 2008.
