not blind Small vertikal tasting of Moet Collection 04,02,96,92 and 90 Magnum
04, deg. 2020 A lot citric aromas, some roasted notes, salty, reductive and a bit tight, tangerine, a bit smokieness and and the end creamy. 93
02, deg 2017 elegant, fresh, some aging signs, balanced and creamy. 51% CH, 26% PN and 23% PM
96, deg. 2017 for me the strongest with 90 Mg, elegant, fresh, round, nutty and toast, similar to DP. at the end still lemon, cracking acidity as expected fora 1996. 94-95
92, deg 2004 not in perfect condition, some mushrooms. 91
90, Magnum, deg. 2004 At his peak. Juicy, some roasted aromas, very balanced, at least 10 more years. 95

This magnum of 1990 Moet & Chandon Grand Vintage Collection was disgorged in 2004. Perhaps the magnum helped a lot with retaining its youth, but it’s so young that it’s maturity is similar to the 1998 Grand Vintage Collection next to it. Young and ripe with rich orchard fruits, similar profile to the sun-kissed 2003. (85/100)

The coffee notes on this are unusually expressive. A really fun Champagne to bring to a party and taste against other vintages. Drinking very well for a straight Moet - reminiscent of some of it's more expensive brethen.

Provade två olika flaskor. Den ena var lite oxiderad på ett bra sätt medan den andra var friskare. Syran dominerar båda men det finns mogna toner som balanserar upp. Som med många 1990 lever de inte riktigt upp till förväntan på årgången. Högsta dosagen av Grand Vintagevinerna, 7,5g

Some oxidation here which I find disturbing and off putting. Hard to rate.
