Quite full and rich with plenty of acidity and bubbles and a bit of the classic Bollinger oxidization. Quite a tangy and powerful Champagne especially for its age with notes of metallic minerals on the long finish. Still a ways to go here.

Magnum. Big brioche nose with caramel, green apple, pear, and plenty of yeast. Caramels, toffee, and poached pears on palate. Defiantly the most oxygen of all of the champagnes tonight (also the oldest) but still has good effervescence. Warm, creamy, and a real pleasure to drink right now. Would definitely buy again.

Really interesting nose and palette. A bit of sherry, but very light still. but no bubbles left. Needed uplift of a blend with the 85 which worked well in the end.

Disgorged in 1986. A bit muted tonight on both the nose and palate.

Duos, Trios and Quartets Among Friends (Ai Fiori Restaurant, NYC): Mature. Lots of acidity and tertiary flavors. Huge nose. Absolutely delicious
