Copper color. Characteristic aged honey and orange peel flavors, counterbalanced by a still-vibrant mousse that provides some lift and balance. It has promise, and builds with time in the glass, but never really peaks or delivers the weight and palate presence I'd hoped for. Some sherry flavors. Enjoyable, but probably in a better place a decade or so ago.

Acker's 1970's Holiday Champagne Dinner (Atera - 77 Worth Street in NYC): There's a lot more depth in this one than in the 1971. Again the more caramelized flavors, hint of sweetness, some freshness, a bit of orange peel right at the end. Drinking well.
