Very mature champaign. Color is golden with nice nose of white flowers. Taste is rich in pears. Bubbles are slightly weak but acceptable. The only draw back is the finishing, which is relatively weak and short. I kept my bottle perfectly in my cellar thus I suspect this wine is over the hill. Nevertheless this wine is the best bubbles in its price range.

I'll look forward to trying further bottles as I was surprised how advanced this one seemed. Certainly enjoyable, full and fairly dry, but without the vigour I'd hoped for based on previous vintages.

Really really good - a serious Champagne. Not quite as rich, complex or yeasty as a Bollinger Grand Aneé but not far off, and a fraction of the price. Buy!

Looking quite mature though with large bubbles. Round, soft, toasty palate. A little short.

As before - mature rich vintage champagne at its peak; very good value

Consistent with note from a year ago. Advanced and lacking verve (excuse the pun).
