A subtle thread of ground cardamom and clove spice unravels through flavors of glazed apricot, spring blossom, candied lemon zest, pastry and almond cream. Shows lovely balance, with a soft, creamy mousse caressing the finish. (AN) 92 points Wine Spectator
Bright gold. Dried pear, marzipan, honey and lemon pith on the pungent nose. Dry and chewy in texture, offering poached pear and buttered toast flavors braced by a smoky mineral nuance. Shows good power and focus on the persistent, mineral-accented finish, with the butter and honey notes repeating. The blend of richness and energy here will make this a very flexible Champagne at the table. 91 points Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar
