Lovely amber stone colour with lots of bubbles left. Nose is very mature and showing dried fruit and minerals combined with a touch of basement. Dried fruit on the palate with a lovely intensity and acidity of yellow fruit before the lengthy finish.

(Lanson Champagne Red Label) Light medium orange color with no bubbles; mature, oxidized, sherried, tart orange, caramel, yeasty, lifted nose; mature, tart red grapefruit, citrus, tart orange palate with medium acidity that's a little sherried, but cleans up quite a bit with 15-20 minutes of air; long finish (a very intriguing 40 yr old Champagne, but the bottle wasn't in the best condition, hence the lack of bubbles)

Quite obviously over the hill. Nose more so that palate. Still sparkling.

Chicago Wine Flock...1955s and More from Jamie G (Michael Restaurant - Winnetka IL): From magnum. Hazelnut and toast aromas come across as more mature/ advanced vs more fresh, lively palate. Flavors of apple, spice and some toast. Very good texture, liveliness for its age.
