A fascinating tasting casting a wide net from Champagne to Burgundy to the right bank and left bank of Bordeaux, on to Australia and finishing in California. Considering the age of the wines, we had a phenomenal hit rate with just the 1946 Conseillante (fake) and 1961 Leroy Musigny (over the hill) disappointments. Food and company were exquisite!
The fact that the 1900 Sandeman Port was not what is was meant to be and was put aside was a blessing in disguise after that much wine!

Less of a nose than the 1975 Bollinger RD tasted alongside. Caramel flavors. Less complex on the finish. Still a delicious champagne, though.
