(deg July 2020, 72 months on the lees)
Wow! Finally, I drink one of these bottles at peak and it's a beauty. I would drink up by the recommended date from the AG review. It's just in a superb zone now as far as palate and aromatics. I have drank these too early. Fortunately, this one is prime time. The whole mirabelle plum thing is spot on as a descriptor. Really one of the most unique bottles of Champagne that I've had in a while. As @"Don Vogt" mentioned, thanks to @"Marius Fries" for turning us onto Egly-Ouriet. As I recall, Marius makes an annual visit to the winery to pick up his allocation.
Paired with a creole oysters at Seaboy that reminded of the ones at Commander's Palace and whole charcoal grilled branzino.
