Star bright gold in the glass. No mousse to speak of; bubbles are small and persistent. Yeasty, honeyed apple nose. Palate of dark honey, baked apple, and toast. Acidity is still quite firm and mouth-watering, despite its age. Finish is medium yielding a bit of floral honey on top of the rest. Wonderful example of a wonderful vintage that’s still showing well.

Pale gold, large bubbles, slight copper tiint. Lovely aromas of toast and brioche, pallet of toast, yeast and lots of Bramley apple flavours. Great balance and acidity.

Pale golden with a weak mousse-strong dough aromas-full nectar with strong acidity and very yeasty in flavor with defined lemon peel. The finish is short and bracing.

Very nice champagne. Light lemon color, with notes of citrus and toast in the aromas. Palate adds a streak of minerality to the mix, and more doughy notes get caught in the back end. Great appetizer wine.

Pure, fine mousse, nice high toned yeasty flavors. Pale coloring, a classic "wedding cake" champagne. Really enjoyed this.
