Darker color, significant age which both of us love, solid bubbles, meaning lots of structure. Aged Clos des Goisses is for the gods in our opinion. Buy/drink or hold.

A touch overripe, missing length and concentration, minimal fruit and tertiary aromas. The demi Magnum 3 month ago was much fresher and denser. For me no TCA. 92

Perfekt bottle with great filling and unbeliavable perlage. You could think the Coca Cola factory has freshly filled the bubbles into the wine. This I didn't expect. Fascinating balance between typical aged champagne notes (brioche, almonds, dried apricot and fig, white chocolate and nougat) and lime, but the freshness is still dominating. Looking forward for the Magnum in October. 97

Rupert's Bosconia (The Medlar, London): Light gold with a touch of bronze. Lovely. Rich, smooth. Lovely line av focus, a touch oxidative on the mid-palate in a complexity-adding way. Very long and fine. Gentle spice towards the front end. A touch of toasted nut and cream. Just lovely. ****1/2

Distinctively showing age with a medium gold color. Light nose of toffee and caramel. Maintained its freshness on the attack, surprisingly so. Secondary and tertiary notes coming through. Really special and enjoyed this very much. Unfortunately it was the last bottle.

A lighter style than the 1989, marked by a pervasive nuttiness. Enjoyable and uncomplicated.

Just a touch of oxidation on the nose, a citrus streak, fresh and fine

Weightless, mineral, fresh. White fruit and some flower. Did not improve with air and was less concentrated than 89 and 78 served next to it.

Disapointing. Love this vintage but this is not as good as it should be
