Saturday, March 20, 2021 - A Year Later in Vero...; 3/17/2021-3/21/2021 (Vero Beach): This is a grower that I've gotten to like more and more over the last few years from the basic bottling to the nicer ones. A few years ago we had a 750 of the '90 at a restaurant in NYC that I was really impressed by. This was out of mag and my first impression is just much too young. Esp on the heels of the '85 LGD and the '99 Dom. This hasn't really gotten to secondary at all let alone tertiary. It's all freshness and crisp bubbles. I like the backbone of it. We have another mag which will continue to sleep for many more years.

The ones with green labels are just now starting to show maturity which make me think that the golden labeled will need at least another few years to reach the same stage, and the golden labeled magnums at least 5-10 years.
