My first note about this wine was that it did not feel like a 17 year old champagne. It still felt quite young and fresh. This has just entered its drinking window and I think that it will continue to evolve in a good way for many years to come. I would revisit this in 3-4 years. If opened now, I would give it a little bit of air as the complexity evolved quite well after about an hour. On the nose there is some yeasty notes, minerals, pear, and baked apple. On the palate, I get similar notes of baked apple, baked dough (not too much brioche here...which I like), minerality, yeast, some lemon, and had a creamy texture. Overall, a superb wine with excellent acidity and a long finish.
