1998 Cuvée Nicolas François Billecarte; Champagne Billecarte-Salmon 60% PN, 40% Chard.
round, poised, zippy and painfully young, this needs time, apples, lemons, limes, chalk, delicate and classic, with a subtle finish, Long but you can't yet get past the acidity. Beautifully poised, give it 10-15 years. 70+/100

Do you think it'll be better in 10-15 years, Jono, or still a too-acidic beast? Kinda wondering whether that 70 points takes any account of future expectations.
Re: TN: a Billecarte-Salmon prestige cuvée.
Never mind - just read in your other post that 70 points is mind-bogglingly good. Was having trouble reconciling apparent contradictions, but it makes more sense now. Perhaps you should put your new range into your signature. Otherwise you will be speaking Greek to a bunch of us who don't know the language.
