January 1, 2022 - not blind
Everything was perfect but it could be more bubbles. Clear colour, not too much nougat and dried fruits, spicy, lemon fruits, hint of butterscotch and great refreshing acidity. 96 -

December 11, 2017 - Noch so vital, die filligrane Perlage entzückt die Geschmacksknospen auf den Zugenpapillen. Was für ein Inferno an Aromen. Schwarzer Tee, geröstete Macadamianüsse und Nougat standen im Vordergrund und nicht getrocknete Aprikosen, Feigen und Datteln wie es häufig bei alten Champagnern vorkommt. Sicherlich eine perfekte Flasche auf dem Höhepunkt. Nicht nur mich der stärkste Wein des Abends. 98+. Das Plus als Bonus für die Frische eines nahezu 50-jährigen Champagners.
Meine Top 5: 1969, 1988, 1996, 2000, 1989. Bei vielen ähnliche Top 5. Generell in der Runde lag der 1988er vor dem 96er und 69er. 2002 mit unendlich Potential, aber definitiv zu jung.
Ja, beide RJ’s hatten Recht. Gib dem Cristal 20 Jahre, damit er seine ganze Pracht, Eleganz und Grazie entwickeln kann. Die jungen Dinger sind alle zu brav und nahezu „langweilig“. 2000 ist jetzt mit voller Wucht genießbar. -

December 18, 2013 - Pours a beautiful clear deep golden. Sweet nose of peach, honey, minerals, walnut, light smoke, mushroom, slight paper. Intense, rich palate of honey coated nuts, chalk, earth, rich pastry, very light carbonation. Amazing.

December 31, 2010 - No more bubbles, taste more like old sherry than old champagne. Bummer!

January 2, 2006 - Still had good acidity and a pleasure to drink. Not the freshness of course, but mellow and still lots of bubbles. An experience, but more for the occasional than as a replacement for fresher champagne.
