  Wow this is really tasting special to my palate - yeasty, marzipan, carmalized honey - definitely a bit darker in color than younger champagne. The bubbles are still present but not as pervasive - the complexity of the wine unfolds itself in layers and is very enjoyable. A real treat to kick off an evening featuring '86 bdx.

  My Super Secret Surprise Birthday Celebration Extravaganza (Friends apt): What a pretty awesome way to start the day. Old bubbles! Who doesn't love those. This has that nice carmelization that comes with a bit of age. Hint of oxidation. Touch of toast. Really yummy!

  There's something about old champagne that is just so festive and fun. This is a bit oxidized although the bubbles are still fairly fresh. A wine that is more darkened caramel (without the sweetness) and hints of smoke. Didn't get all that much as it was a hit in our house so bottle finished fast.

  Purchased a few bottles from Vinfolio this year. I didn't see a tasting note but took the risk because of the producer.
  
  The physical bottle was pristine. Color was fantastic - clear, polished brass yellow. Not a lot of bubbles if any. Fresh cut pineapple, toffee, and buttered toast on the nose. On the palate, golden delicious apple and orange pith. Medium-bodied. Delicious.
