September 15, 2018 - An incredible birthday dinner: Darker gold colour. Ozone, musky perfume, slate, red currant and light herbal undertones. Rich on the palate with plenty of power and drive, really pushes through strongly. Like where there is now, it's not as piercing as the 1992 but is still excellent.

December 31, 2014 - A fantastic wine with a bready nose and layers of of fruit like apple cinnemon. The color was golden with a great mousse after 20 years in the celler, I just want more of this

December 8, 2014 - A heavier, richer and more powerful with compared to the two bottles of Krug. A large and powerful nose. Really nice acidity on the finish. Finishes fresh and bright despite the bigger richer profile. This has incredible intensity with enough freshness to avoid being heavy or overdone. A really special bottle of Champagne and a treat to taste. Outstanding.
