Wine Spectator / 90
''A high-pitched aroma of sweet spices and coconut introduce a rich palate, with a fine texture and complex flavors of dried citrus, coffee and pastry. Good balance overall, just a tad sharp, but a success for the vintage. Drink now through 2008. 3,000 cases made.'' - BS

''Light gold color, with a fine mousse. Pungent aromas of apple, poached pear, cherry pit, blond tobacco and loamy earth, lifted by a topnote of bitter lemon. Offers very good depth on the palate, showing concentrated flavors of apple pie, singed orange and buttery toffee. This boasts good energy on the back, which enlivens the wine's deep, maturing flavors. A very successful and vinous Champagne from this difficult vintage.'' - JR
