  Quintarelli Tasting (Frederiksberg): Lovely and fully mature. Great wine!

  Despite the very firm cork and the loud pop, there were no bubbles in the juice beyond the first few seconds. Classic old Cristal. Massive orange peel, cinnamon and caramel, almost sweet despite the firm acidity. It’s definitely interesting but becomes tiring after the first glass. I wonder if the Vinotheque version tastes fresher.

  Regrettably, well past its prime. Weak sherry. Had to substitute a reasonable-grade new champagne for in-law’s 50th. Thanks, Nick.

  From Magnum. This bottle was aged to perfection. Mild acid. Still nice bubbles. We drank this a lot faster than we expected to. Excellent at open.

  It has been some time since I've had a Cristal and the aged ones really are special. This was maybe a bit more oxidized than I would have expected it to be and it's definitely a different style than what's 'en vogue' at the moment mostly because there is a fairly reasonable dosage. That reasonable dosage though seems to contribute to the aged champagne notes and it ends up being really delicious. Sad that we don't have more but nice to celebrate a friend.
