"Not yet in its second life. Hasn't evolved enough to be in the Collection phase. Much paler and greener. Lovely sweet brioche nose. Very, very dense and tight and lively. Dom PĂ©rignon-like. Creamy, fine, dense: lots of energy. Very, very tight. In between, long, tense, vibration. Very, very long (I could definitely see a relationship with the â64). Quite big and ripe."
