  October 4, 2004 - An evening with Laurent-Perrier (Connaught Hotel, London): Deepish mid gold. A deep, though slightly simple nose: buttery toasty, with some reductive oxidising notes. Gosh! This is full-on, powerful flavours. Ripe stone fruits with more than a little of an old burgundy feel to it. Very together. But definitely really only one for fans of old champagnes: I can appreciate and enjoy this wine, but I don't think it is one that I would drink.

  October 4, 2004 - Bibendum Laurent Perrier Champagne tasting and dinner (Connaught Hotel, London): The oldest of the wines tasted at this L-P tasting, had been impeccably stored in L-Ps own reserves and could expect it to be as good an example available. The first whiff was just yeast, then a sherry/madeirized quality that some love and some don't. Personally I dont like it in a champagne, but each to their own. For me this felt just plain tired and had nothing much left to give. Others thought it was great. I'm not against aged champagne, just that i'd like it to have a happy marriage of yeast and fruit, not just the very dry sherry-like characteristics this had. Not rated because it's too subjective (would have been low 80s).
