  October 14, 2023 - Defective and completely ruined, which was disappointing as the other bottle I bought of this at the same time was perfect

  October 15, 2022 - Drank to celebrate my 30th Birthday as a 1992 baby (which was both a commiseration and a celebration). Disgorged 2004. In perfect condition - no signs of taint at all given its age (but it was direct from the Moët cellars via Clos19).
  Very intresting notes of truffle, coffee (cappuccino), caramel and maybe raisins. Complex and aged, and a long finish.
  Possibly just not quite as interesting (or outstanding) as I was hoping for, but still delicious.
  Drank alongside the 2002, which was outstanding, richer, racier and everyone's favourite.
  One bottle left which id be tempted to save until im 40.

  November 23, 2021 - not blind
  Small vertikal tasting of Moet Collection 04,02,96,92 and 90 Magnum
  
  04, deg. 2020
  A lot citric aromas, some roasted notes, salty, reductive and a bit tight, tangerine, a bit smokieness and and the end creamy. 93
  
  02, deg 2017
  elegant, fresh, some aging signs, balanced and creamy. 51% CH, 26% PN and 23% PM
  
  96, deg. 2017
  for me the strongest with 90 Mg, elegant, fresh, round, nutty and toast, similar to DP. at the end still lemon, cracking acidity as expected fora 1996. 94-95
  
  92, deg 2004
  not in perfect condition, some mushrooms. 91
  
  90, Magnum, deg. 2004
  At his peak. Juicy, some roasted aromas, very balanced, at least 10 more years. 95

  March 5, 2017 - I don't think I can improve on ISAACJAMESBAKER's review, so I quote it full below. I will add that the 1992 seemed to be the favorite at its price point of the Moet GVs we tried, and that it should cellar well for years to come:
  
  "Showing those beautiful aged aromas of hazelnut, boiled peanuts, apricots and yellow flowers. Crisp acid, fine bubbles, this mineral-driven Champagne also shows lots of lemon peel, honeydew melon, sweet tart candies and honeycomb flavors. Very elegant and sleek, with a long, nutty finish. Drinking incredibly well now, but these bubbles aren't done evolving yet."

  May 8, 2013 - Moët Portfolio Tasting (Graham Georgetown Hotel - Washington, DC): Showing those beautiful aged aromas of hazelnut, boiled peanuts, apricots and yellow flowers. Crisp acid, fine bubbles, this mineral-driven Champagne also shows lots of lemon peel, honeydew melon, sweet tart candies and honeycomb flavors. Very elegant and sleek, with a long, nutty finish. Drinking incredibly well now, but these bubbles aren't done evolving yet.
