  Out of 3L was insanely fresh alive. Bubbles were present and alive. Just so youthful. Tasted like an 02 or more recent vintage.

  Olive Garden Party (Cristal vertical) (Chicago, IL): Perhaps more interesting than good at this point for me. Very ripe and sweet, almost like it was dosed a little too generously. Drinks like a dry Sauternes with some bubbles -- a moderate mushroom note from the age, but plenty of honey and marmalade notes too. With air, a very distinct curry leaf aroma develops. The effervescence is mostly dissipated too. Not really the type of champagne I'd like to drink.

  Spoiled. A friend's bottle which was apparently not stored correctly. Undrinkable.

  I love old Cristal and this was no exception. It's not quite at the level of the Tait Rose, but it is certainly delicious. The dosage by this point has totally found itself and it comes across as quite dry and fresh.
