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

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
