Nose: coconut water, caramel, dried plum, Notes: some savory notes to it with some mature fruits. Won't be too much change in the future and it's relatively close to its death. I simply don't think champagne can still be consumed at such age and would very much prefer the more refreshing and lightening style of champagne than the sherry like and dark colored style that most too old to drink champagne would possess. Drink: way before this Rating: 87

This is a fully mature champagne with flavors of sherry, mushrooms and wet earth but still nice mousse and good acidity with a strong mineral core. Very nice.

Opened at the All-Star Dinner by Zachy's in HK. P&P, small glass sample.
Just old Champagne - tired, nothing special. Still hints of bubbles but very tertiary and some metallic notes on the nose. Would drink up.
