  Jon's 50th Birthday Party: PnP. Disgorged 1995. Wonderful nose that explodes out of the glass with honey and nuttiness. Palate is expansive with lovely acidity and nice bubbles.

  Lovely. Cork popped which is always a good sign for old champagnes. Deep yellow hue. Good fizz. Clear and transparent.
  Fantastic nose even from the first pour.
  Full mouthfeel. Caramel and honey. Slightly nutty. A bit dry but mitigated by the sweetness of age. Much fresher than expected - many guessed it was late 1990s instead.

  Disgorged in 1995. Lively and fresh with apple and brioche. Moderate length.

  Loek's birthday lunch and tasting (Restaurant Bak, Amsterdam): A whiff of oxidation in the start, hardly no mousse, very interesting and friendly bitters, peach, vanilla, bit waxy, dry and very long aftertaste.
  Ten minutes later, a bit more mousse, the refreshing backbone is more obvious and there is more transparency in the taste. Disgorged in '94.
  A perfect example of a delicious and classic champagne.

  Leoville and Langoa with Damien Barton Sartorius: Really terrific Bolly RD showing what the label can really do in its marriage of completely fresh, lively fruit and the mature notes that make aged champagne so fascinating. Even better on the palate than on the nose, the 82 has life ahead though it may not be destined to improve per se.
