Slight salty minerality (effervescent tablet-ish) on the nose. Occasional whiffs of coffee, nougat, toasted white bread, yellow apples, honey, vanilla and oranges. Clearly mature, but with lemony acidity to belie the age. Felt like it gained a bit from getting somewhat warm and flat.
Won't rate it because I had one of those days. Pretty good stuff, but felt somewhat aromatically weak which normally would land it around 85, but since I had a rather off day, I must admit that the complexity could easily push it up to 90.

Tasted very good and the champagne was ready to drink. Wait no longer.

Lots of fruit and a little toned down bready notes. The acids were sharp, but nice!
