Fairly simple at this point, as I should have drunk these a few years ago. Nonetheless, still not a bad glass of champagne for a party, and time to drink this up.

Light salmon color with a very fine bead. Excellent effervescence for a 18 year old Champagne. Served too chilled and initially disjointed as a result. Muted strawberry with an acidiic edge. The mineral undertone and complexity from age were lurking in the cold. However, the bubbly warmed rapidly in tall trumpet glasses and the complexity emerged. Still a mineral and austere house style that is very food friendly with classic "dry" cuisine. Medium bodied with real backbone and complexity integrated with age. More autolysis that yeasty.

Champagne Offline - Revenge of the Fizz (Snows - London): Rusty salmon, very complex balance of light strawberry and a richer, caramel flavour, very long, superb balance.
