  France, Champagne

  Smelt like sherry most of the night and tasted more like a well aged chardonnay/burgundy. Developed better over the length of the evening but still a bit nutty and musty. Full body

  Bouquet of coffee, darker colour than other 3 but not really dark. Well structured with depth but lacked a little fruit. Full Body

  France, Champagne

  Have had several times before and always good but not outstanding: this was; WOTN. Great structure and mousse with perfectly balanced acidity and fruit to give a refreshing zippy, for its age, champagne. Very delicate.

  Flat. Finest mousse but just lacked fruit and was flat in the company of the other wines.

• 1993 Charles Heidsieck Champagne Brut Millésimé 91 Points

  France, Champagne

  Fell a little flat after the four previous wines. Larger and more pronounced mousse, colour was similar to others, slightly lighter. Fruity on the nose and easy to drink but a class below what went before.

An interest mix of reviews; Salon was found difficult by all but improved throughout the evening, Cristal and Dom Perignon were liked by the girls; and only a few takers for the Krug. The '93 Charles Heidsick magnum was also very good but a little bit deflated by being served after the grand wines.
