Well, well past its prime and at the point where it delivers no rewards for opening. Lacked fizz and tasted too sweet. Every once in a while, a hint of what this vintage once was struggled to make itself known, but never fully succeeded. Time to move on.
Evolving colour, copper gold, still plenty of effervescence. Nose is a little tired but has a super honied note and is fresh and lively, but the palate is losing its flesh and acidity is getting a bit jagged. A good experience but not a great bottle.

Nutty, elegant but at the end of its time.

Sublime. Rich nose, honey on palate. Vibrant. Opened slowly, and was best after about 45 minutes.
