Tasted/drank this wine on many occasions. Not really bad, but not really special either. I wrote one earlier note; probably from the first time I tasted this Champagne. Tasted a lot of good Champagne since. And then I must say there is so much better on the market, even for better prices. Nothing wrong with this wine. Pleasant, dry and a good commercial product. Nothing exiting though.

Although this is a Brut, it has quite much sweetness. Not my type of Champagne.

A lot of oak, but good tropical fruits behind it. Banana. Mouth full of wine. Long finish. Good bitterness. Lacking some elegance. Still amazingly fresh.

Elegant wine. Soft citrus and tropical fruits with a pleasant dose of oak.

Fresh. Soft tropical fruits and firm citrus. Firm dose of good oak. Elegant.

Citrus, tropical fruits and bitterness, but also something which is not completely fresh. Just a bit corked? Something else? Not sure. Hope it is the bottle. No score.

Strange bouquet. Organic. Apples. Yeasty. Same in the taste. Probably an off bottle. No score.

Ripe tropical fruits. Firm amount of citrus and bitterness from the oak. Needs more time.

Expressive and tasty wine. Firm amount of citrus acidity, good bitterness from the luxurious oak. The fruit can handle the oak easily. Full bodied, elegant and a long finish.

Soft citrus, tropical fruits. Excellent use of good oak. Very elegant wine. Ready now, no real hurry.

A good amount of red and black fruits. Firm tannin and bitterness. Still quite young. Give it another 3+ years of cellaring. Might gain a point.

Full bodied. A lot of liquorice. Cassis. Soft and ripe tannin. Elegant but still enough power for a few more years. A great pleasure.

Impressive! So much better than the bottle I tasted in 2006. Ageing did the wine so good. Expressive and complex bouquet with luxurious toasted oak and a pleasant bit of barnyard. Liquorice. Cassis. Juicy and a pleasant sweetness. Great second wine and qpr! Pleasure now but keeping it for another 3+ years will not be a problem.

Beautiful bouquet with barnyard and liquorice. Juicy cassis and luxurious oak. Still very youthful. Double decanted several hours before drinking it is already a great pleasure, but keeping it another 5 - 8+ years might be rewarding.

Full bodied and very juicy. A lot of good bitterness and concentration. A sweet start. Still very youthful.

Very strange wine. Combination of acetone, cassis and sweetness. Not really the Chilean sweetness that I am familiar with in the cheaper wines. I have a slight cold at the moment, so my palate is not a 100% ok and the taste is very special. No score for the moment.

Toasted oak, cassis, liquorice and some pleasant sweetness, all in the bouquet as well as the taste. Harmonious wine. Ready now, but no hurry. Impressive Lalande de Pomerol.

Luxurious bouquet with cigar box, toasted oak and cassis. Same in the taste. The tannin is still sticky and a bit drying in the finish (like many 1995 wines). Ready now, but it might even improve with some more ageing.

Red and black fruits. Soft tannin and bitterness. Elegant. Medium bodied. Not such a bad score, but disappointing for the vintage.

Luxurious bouquet with toasted oak, cassis and sweetness. In the taste cassis, licorice and sweetness as well. The tannin is soft and smooth. The wine is surprisingly mature and pleasant, but will stay on this level for several years.

Black and red fruits. Good juice. Medium bodied. Soft tannin. Some pleasant sweetness. Ready now, no real hurry.

Luxurious and mature bouquet. Juicy cassis. Medium bodied. Exclusive but not really what it should be. Does it need a few more years?

Harmonious and elegant. Good combination of sweetness and acidity. Beautiful ripe red and also some black fruits. Although not extremely complex and luxurious, this is a very complete wine. Ready now, but will stay on this level for another 2 or 3 years.

Creamy and round with vanilla in the bouquet. Soft and round tannin. Some sweetness. No more notes. I was not very impressed. Hope it is not the right drinking stage at the moment.

Beautiful luxurious bouquet with good cassis and toasted oak. Good cassis juice in the mouth, liquorice, soft tannin but firm and some sweetness. Very youthful, but already a great pleasure. 92+

As previous notes. I can add coffee to the bouquet.

I did not make many more notes than beautiful, ripe and a lot of pleasant sweetness. Very happy to have 3 bottles in my cellar, so there will be a follow up.

Full bodied. A lot of cassis, sweetness and elegance. Double decanted well before this wine gave more pleasure than a few months ago. Needs 3+ more years of ageing.

A light weight d'Yquem. Of course complex and a beautiful wine, but for d'Yquem a bit disappointing.
