Not as fresh as a young champagne, but then, i love those old ones. And in this case, the champagne was still alive, with fine bubbles, good acidity. Alas, my only bottle.

Most of the bubbles have popped leaving some prickle where they used to reside. It has some nuttiness along with honey, caramlised apple and preserved lemon. It is full in the mouth with still plenty of sweetness from the dosage. There's some lemon juice cut to the finish.

Absolutely cranking bottle of Champers. It is full, rich and generous with a touch of brown sugar, some toast, crème brulee and truffle butter. It still has a vigorous bead and is creamy and round in the mouth, with resolved acidity and some nice tertiary savoury action. There are no hard edges and a kiss if citrus freshens the back end.

This bottle was in fantastic condition. Fresher and better mousse then expected.
Complex with red mature apples, grilled citrus, toffee and Burned wood.

30th Birthday - Bordeaux Wine (1983) (Le Sommelier, Copenhagen): An okay bottle but it did seem a little flat in the aromatics and overall seemed a bit too old.
