I'm not an experianced champagne drinker but when I got a chance to buy a bottle from my birth year in 2017 I went for it. Put it on the shelf for a year and now tried it.
So much darker amber color than anything else I've tried and the taste was dominated by honey, toast and some other mature, although this is most def not sweet. Its dry. Bubbles were very alive and small and the fruit was still strong. Acidity was less than I thought.
Glad I tried this 40+ years bottle before it went past its peak, and didn't break the bank too much either.

Not a lot of complexity, but surprisingly fresh and almost like apple pie. The bubbles are still there but disappears almost instantly.

Doften är härligt tobakig, mogna genomutvecklade lätt söta äpplen åt gul-röda hållet - med tid även den typiska Meunier-indikatorn blåbär.
Verkligt fyllig i smaken, lätt-lätt Sherryton, cola, röda mogna äpplen, mogen men substans, dammig, tätt oxidativa toner
87 - men drick typ nu.

Younger and fresher than the first bottle and therefore also less interesting.
