High end Champagne 2012 vs 2013, tasted blind (Bad Ragaz): 60% PN, non-blind. Medium yellow, Wonderful nose, lots of brioche, generous. Very complex and generous, ripe yuzu, apricot, pineapple, cinnamon spice, brioche. A crowd pleaser that will also appeal to the connoisseur. Ripe and rich, but fresh enough. 96pt

Probably in its best phase for me where ageing is just starting to show but freshness is ahead. Brioche, lemoncest, salty minerality and extremely long finish.

Similar to prior note after PNP & went beautifully with our delicious fish dinner at Sea Salt in Naples; outstanding & probably the best QPR of the bigger champagne houses, drink or hold

Ripe mcinstosh apples, apple cider, brioche, hint of caramel, peaches. High acidity. Still young, very enjoyable.

Surprisingly oxidized, matured. Not performing on top blindly, but stable and strong
