A dinner at home with good food, good wines and as always good friends.
Wines were opened 2 hours in advance, and served in either Zaalto Champagne glasses for the whites and Zaalto Universal for the reds. Commandaria was served in standard tulip glasses.

Rich honey colour. On the nose it has a ripe, rich fruit note and this followes nicely on the palate. Lovely density and evolution. Lacks a bit of vitality (like a dom or a Krug 90) and we would suggest one drinks this sooner than later. Very Very good delicate wine. One for the lovers of mature champagne. 93-94 from us.
