November 3, 2022 - Darker color, significant age which both of us love, solid bubbles, meaning lots of structure. Aged Clos des Goisses is for the gods in our opinion. Buy/drink or hold.
October 14, 2018 - The best 88 Champagnes from 1988 Part 3/3 Prestige Cuvees from Magnum (L'assiette champenois): Magnum, not blind
A touch overripe, missing length and concentration, minimal fruit and tertiary aromas. The demi Magnum 3 month ago was much fresher and denser. For me no TCA. 92
July 21, 2018 - Perfekt bottle with great filling and unbeliavable perlage. You could think the Coca Cola factory has freshly filled the bubbles into the wine. This I didn't expect. Fascinating balance between typical aged champagne notes (brioche, almonds, dried apricot and fig, white chocolate and nougat) and lime, but the freshness is still dominating. Looking forward for the Magnum in October. 97
October 18, 2014 - A lighter style than the 1989, marked by a pervasive nuttiness. Enjoyable and uncomplicated.
September 30, 2013 - Just a touch of oxidation on the nose, a citrus streak, fresh and fine
September 30, 2013 - Rupert's Bosconia (The Medlar, London): Light gold with a touch of bronze. Lovely. Rich, smooth. Lovely line av focus, a touch oxidative on the mid-palate in a complexity-adding way. Very long and fine. Gentle spice towards the front end. A touch of toasted nut and cream. Just lovely. ****1/2
November 11, 2012 - Weightless, mineral, fresh. White fruit and some flower. Did not improve with air and was less concentrated than 89 and 78 served next to it.
February 16, 2012 - Distinctively showing age with a medium gold color. Light nose of toffee and caramel. Maintained its freshness on the attack, surprisingly so. Secondary and tertiary notes coming through. Really special and enjoyed this very much. Unfortunately it was the last bottle.
December 27, 2010 - Disapointing. Love this vintage but this is not as good as it should be
