One of those rare occasions when you find an older vintage of Léclapart. Outstanding champagne that made a strong entrance and lasted up until the final glass. Right from the start, an explosion of mushrooms and forest floor, almost vegetable-like notes; medium presence of vanilla that eventually shows more oxidation with some acetic notes (chlorine, varnish, ...) and Sherry, with its respective reminder of roast meat; there's quite a lot of honey with a creamy, almost glyceric texture with a lot of density; towards the end of the bottle some notes of coffee appear, with hot carbon, white truffles and a more marked oakiness. I thought this was a magnificent wine and despite its maturity, there is a delicate acidity.

This bottle sang. I still smell it the day after
