I think I set my expectations too high for the late disgorged wines. I really want them to have extra dough and baked pie flavors, but in my experience they have been much more subtle, bordering on being flat and past their prime. This one was soft with small bubbles and good apple flavors. Very enjoyable, just don't expect too much.

The fruit was a little too baked and the wine seemed tired in general. The late disgorged '94 and the normal '95 were much better. Nice to try for comparison, but I wouldn't buy it again.

There was a bittercomponent to this that I've never tasted in a "quality" champagne and that is the reason for the score.

Green apple, nice yeasty zest, well-woven acids, slight toasted nut, really tasty wine
