  Fantastic wine.
  
  Poured in large and broad glasses. Plenty of mousse. Delightful aromas of secundary characters. Well developed and certainly at a great place.
  
  Long and elegant with tiny bubbles. Great balance between the fruit and acidity. Both long lasting
  
  Drunk with Bonna and Henke.

  Final bottle from a 4 pack...last had a bottle about 1.5 yrs ago.
  A very pretty, mature Champagne, 50% PN and 50% Chard. Bubbles fading, but still dancing around with leesy and nutty notes, hiding some green and red apple and lemon flavors amongst the lovely finishing acidity. Drink up, this one is certainly at peak.

  Made from 50 % chardonnay and 50 % pinot noir.
  
  Relatively dark golden colour. Very oxidised at this stage, almost sherry-like, very pleasant and coherent. Very ripe and mature, but retained acidity. Oxidised w. caramel, nuts and matured cheese. Splendid finish, splendid wine.
  
  Drink.

  Lovely vintage Champagne, last consumed almost 3 years ago.
  Beautiful autolytic notes, the bubbles are softening with bottle age, but the citrus, green apple, white pepper, and warm bread-crust flavors are still going strong. A dollop of cane sugar is noted on the bright and med-length finish.
  This wine is certainly at peak, possibly just past it, it is ready to consume in it's mature glory. Quite good.

  Glass: Gabriel Gold.
  Very nice golden color (more on the pale side). Very nice autolysis notes, with some baked apple and some roasted nuts/almonds. The nose shows a nice complexity and the same goes for the palate. Very nice and fine bubbles. Such a nice mouthfeel. The body is really nice (not too broad and not too lean). The finish is long. I need to highlight that the acidity is just perfect.
  Note, I had not the impression that we're talking about an aged vintage Champagne from end of the 90ties. It's ridicules young. Good stored bottles will easily keep for a decade imo (maybe even with some upside!). I can only recommend this bubble.
