(Disgorged in beginning of 1980’s, 35% Pinot Noir and 65% Chardonnay) Lovely golden yellow colour with a mature nose showing butterscotch notes combined with brown butter, minerals and chocolate. Very expressive nose. Honey sweetness and chocolate at first on the palate with a red apples acidity and a very creamy mid part before the very intense and lengthy finish wrapped up with a honey smoothness. Sadly not that many bubbles left, but enough to push the cork a bit and to keep it going in the glass. Very good with a balanced mature taste right now. (Best 1996-2026)

Came from a private cellar that I purchased. Bright golden color, slight amber. Cork open with pop, still good amount of bubbles, sweet fruit, toffee, baked apple. Sweet fruit with bright acidity. The fruit expression is not too complex but the palate is polished and the finish long. A pleasant surprise.

Gourmetklubbens fyrtiosjunde middag (A+N, Sundbyberg): Honey sweetness and chocolate with dried fruit and a nice and lengthy finish. Almost no bubbles left, but still showing very well.
