Wow. Propolis up front, then the perfume opens out: kozinaki, flowers that have already been turned to nectar inside bees' bellies, linden honey, acacia blossom. Nuts threading through it all. Just an unbelievably good-smelling glass. Young and charged underneath, with the concentration and long finish that signal a wine only going to get more interesting. Where most Champagne bottles blur into the same broad-shouldered story, this one has its own voice - stylish, unique, unmistakably itself.
