Plus a wonderful bonus wine that was certainly from Vosne, almost certainly from DRC, most likely from the 1960s or early 1970s, but impossible to be certain of much else.
1985 Krug Champagne Vintage Brut 91 Points
France, Champagne
Ripe apple aromas with an intense toasted brioche character, clearly very yeasty. Dense and lots of powerful start-to-finish. More advanced than I'd prefer, slightly more mature than the best bottles I've had over the past few years.

1996 Pol Roger Champagne Cuvée Sir Winston Churchill 95 Points
France, Champagne
Ripe apple and pear aromas with some toasty and baking spice elements. Much more fresh than the last bottle I remember from a few years ago, this had great balance, power and concentration from start-to-finish. Incredible textures. This will certainly get better as its rough edges soften a bit.
