  Quite secondary. Herbal and plummy with richness. Over the peak for me.

  (Disgorged in the late 1980s, 46% Pinot Noir, 5% Meunière and 49% Chardonnay)
  Golden yellow colour with a mature nose showing burnt sugar and honey at first. With some time in the glass it opens up with lighter citrus notes, flowers and some bourbon vanilla. Acidic palate with dried fruit on the mid to late and with an intense finish showing mature red apples. Not perfectly stored bottle, but as time goes it opens up in a lovely way!
  (Best 2002-2027)

  Champagne tasting from different crus ans styles with sushi and salmon, 8 champagnes in 4 flights,
  1. Flight Guy Charlemagne BdB Brut Reserve against Cazals Clos Cazals 2000
  2. Flight Gosset Grande Reserve vs. Dethune Cuvee des Princess
  3. Flight Diebolt-Vallois Rose vs Krug Rose
  4. Flight Egly-Ouriet VV Crayres vs Perrier-Jouet Belle Epoque 1982
  
  For me and overall undisputed the best.
  
  Only a few bubbles left, but this was not very important, dark golden colour, all nice signs of a maturated champagne: roasted nuts, toffee, coffee, caramell, dates, figs, apricots, honey, vanilla... delicious, Ithink at its peak, won't get better but don't need it anymore, with more bubbles and a little bit more acidity 97-98, I guess from a perfect MG 98-99 possible, no really oxidation signs as sherry or petrol. Lovely

  Just a touch of caramel sneaking into the aroma. Smells of baked apples, spice, mushrooms and earth. Rich, full and creamy in the mouth, still with some vigorous bead and a fresh citrus infused finish.
