  At the end (if not slightly past) despite the good, active mousse; dark straw in color. Marzipan, sherry, and some slightly burnt applesauce (?) notes - an odd astringency I didn’t enjoy. Medium- to medium finish. I don’t recall loving any of my 4 bottles (this is the last) but this was a bit disappointing on NYE.

  Fresher then expected. Good mousse and nice golden colour. Sweet red apples and marsipan. Didn’t open up after some hours in the glas. There was a bitter aftertaste that I didn’t like. I think this won’t get that much better with longer storage?
  I will try next bottle next year again. The 2000 was not the best year, but I think this was rather good considering that. The same cuvée from -99 is better.

  Darker yellow color. There is a touch of oxidation and some caramelly notes on an otherwise elegant champagne with yeast, spice, oak and nuts.

  Not showing its age much at all, but just a bit of oxidized tertiary notes. Very enjoyable bottle.
