  Mainly champagnes with hotpot: Rather oxidised with honey notes so I thought this to be from the late 80s. Very powerful and broad, some said it was Krug-like but I thought this was too coarse. Think others liked this more than I did, the ‘96s that I’ve tried so far have been a little long in the tooth for my palate, compared to ‘02s which are still incredibly fresh and vibrant.

  An incredibly bold and intense Champagne that feels like it was bottled yesterday. There is plenty of balancing ripe lemon/lime fruit and a ton of funky yeast and bread notes on the finish. Not the most elegant Champagne I've ever tasted but it's intensity for a 24-year old bottle of bubbles is insane. This could be much better in another 10 years. 93?

  Raw, rustic, but super tense, with notes of herbs, some lemon oil, spices, also some mineral notes. It‘s pretty full-bodied, with high acidity cutting through the richness. Superb length with plenty of tension and explosive mineral/acidity finish. Very fascinating.
  On day 2 some oxidation is sneaking in, still a very good, tense, slightly rustic Champagne.

  Lovely dark colour. Slightly oxidised. Extremely powerful Champagne. Very distinctive notes of bread. Would have been better with food than on its own. Interesting stuff.
