Still consistent with my last note. Sad that this is my last bottle. Enjoyed at OTBN with dear friends in honor of my Dad who only found that top notch Champagne was enjoyable close to the end of his life. I'm happy he got to enjoy this bottling. Cheers.

This wine is quite spot on. Really fine. Golden amber color, sweet orchard fruit, autolytic lees character, full mouthfeel, and tremedous acid still. What a wine. Excellent length and depth. alcohol, earth, fruit, sugar, and acid in damn near perfect balance. Wish I had another case!

Perfect. Full of flavor. The extended time on the lees really shows.

Didn't show as well as the last bottle. Still very good, though.

This bottle has settled down and come together. More integrated but less spectacular. Amazing mouth feel and complexity. Gorgeous! Tremendous yeastiness which derives from 20 years on the lees

Let me just say this 95 is very fair considering we had everything from LGD, 2 generations of DP, Vintage Krug and so many other champagnes that weekend and I sent the longest with this as it took a lot of air to get the stuff to start coming off this. Sweet fruit in the nose but reticent and subdued. A touch of port like fruit as well as some citrus. Not a fresh and clean wine by any imagination, but a structure and brooding wine, which for a champagne is quite different, but given the age, I completely understand.

There was just a touch of the autolytic left and the bubbles were nowhere near the 19 year old or 20 year old Krug. If you drank a glass, and I mean a good white wine glass over an hour you were able to see the elegance in which this opened up, like a very tight flower that was only going to show itself to the patient. Few like this or thought it was comparable at all with the field in play. As I puled different smells and let others smell the glass, they started to gain some appreciation for older champagne, but with scores of high 90 and a perfect one, I just thing some people need to try a 1996 Krug or a 1990,1996 DP, Bollinger R.D., many older Crsital to put things in perspective. Don't get me wrong as this 95 is the 3 highest scoring champagne of the weekend behind 95 Krug and 96 DP. A very different style, but I am not a novice or impatient either.

Really a different and wonderful bottle. Opened and shared with friends on New Years Eve 2014/15. Large palate and nose with biscuit, yeast, honey, some beeswax and highly floral on the end. What makes this one different and special is that it's so amazingly well balanced. I cannot understand how a wine can be so large and packed with flavor and still be so incredibly light, nimble, and nuanced.... Can I have more please?

Tasted blind in a champagne judging panel. Was a consensus favorite. Showed well if not better than DP 2006, DP Rose 2004, and other tete de cuvee's. Very interesting and elegant wine. Grab it if you can find it.

Nutty, toasted brioche, lemon meringue nose. Bright, minerally, lively palate with some age-derived flavors, citrus. Long finish.

Undoubtedly one of the finest Champagnes I have ever had. This was disgorged in May 2013 after being on the lees for 23 years. Incredibly rich and complex. This is on a par with much more expensive vintage luxury cuvees. An unbelievable value.

I opened Christmas day and '89 is a meaningful year for me, however, despite wanting this to be good, it exceeded expectations. This is one of the most complex, delicious, and interesting champagnes I've ever had. There is mild yeast, under ripe green apple, white peach and minerality on the nose. The palate follows with great balance, good fresh and dry fruit (dried apricots) and a chalky minerality that is very pleasing. The flavors evolve in the glass as it warms only to evolve again on the next pour. The acidity is great and the finish is everlasting. If I had limitless money and space I would have a lifetime supply of this wine.

This was tasted at the winery. JP degorged it in the cave and then served it to us upstairs with no dosage. This is 60% Chardonnay and 40% Pinot Noir. With no dosage it is exceptionally dry - about .1% residual sugar. Yeast and toast are the dominant flavors and bouquet. Amazingly complex and long finish. Superb!
