Monday, August 15, 2022 - ~80s, decanted. Fresher and higher acidity once in decanter with ample amount of air, which it needs. Light effervesce with orange and honey. 91

The letter (A, B, C or D) tells you which quarter of the year; the two numbers should be reversed to tell you the year. Thus, B 61 indicates the second quarter of 2016. Hope this helps give you some perspective on bottle age.
Also, I agree with allowing the Champagne to breathe (usually several minutes of slo-ox) like any other wine.
