93 ST. "Pale gold color. Highly nuanced nose combines marzipan, macadamia, toffee, brown butter, honey and apricot. Sweet, rich, ripe and nutty, but kept lively and firm by vibrant acidity. Captivating flavors of honeycomb, salted butter, toffee and apricot jam. Thick with extract and very long on the back end. A remarkably fresh, recently disgorged wine from a very rich vintage for Champagne." Vinous, Nov 2004 |
