tasted blind. orange in color nose - very much reminding me of a peanut butter cookie (nutter butter) which is an odd association mouth- honeyed but most prominent feature is its riproaring acidity. and when unveiled its the '28 Roederer Brut? Ah geez... never ever would have guessed. This champagne, while unusual, still has life. The oldest bottle of bubbly I have ever had, hands down.

Such an incredible experience. Initially I noticed quite a bit of toffee on the nose. Lots of power and finesse, so many characteristics of a great Burgundy, incredibly rich and sweet with some flavors of a liqueur, maybe a port. Definitely a pleasurable characteristic

A certain amount of funk, but I liked this from the first sip. Creamy, hazelnut, a touch cola like. Initial opinions around the table were somewhat mixed, but I was hooked. After a couple of hours, when the remaining two small glasses were poured from the bottle, it showed even better.

Acker's Post-COVID BYO, Dinner and Auction Simulcast (Craft - New York NY): Small glass, brief note. Complex and fully mature, but certainly still alive. Well past where I would consider it very tasty, but certainly still very interesting.
