June 11, 2023 - Still drinking very very nicely. Lots of biscuit and nuts but still very fresh with a brisk acidity.

September 23, 2019 - Pausing for the Cause 2019 (Chicago, IL): Meh. Maybe this performed a little better than the relatively low expectations given the house? Far more autolytic and biscuity than I like my champagne. The palate shows the correct 1996 acidity, but not much else; just a slightly nondescript if inoffensive champagne.

January 29, 2019 - I love what aged champagne becomes after 20 plus years. Beautiful nutty, sherry nose while still fresh and interesting. This wine got better in the glass and the cream and brioche qualities were enhanced as the fruit revealed itself. Very nice with oysters

June 19, 2018 - Antique gold colour, very clear. Still a good pop and steady stream of fine bubbles. Oxidized palate and nose of an old champagne. Good acidity and weight, but tired, faded and past its prime. Still drinkable, but drink up soon.
