(Disgorged in 1998, 45% Pinot Noir, 5% Meunier and 55% Chardonnay) Lovely golden yellow colour still with lots of bubbles left with a mature nose showing lime flowers, minerals and roasted coffee and butterscotch in a delicious way. Lovely smoothness on the palate filled with creamy notes and some red apples acidity with lots of raspberry minerals on the intense finish, leaving a lovely saltiness on the lips. So delicious and with lots of energy left to keep it going for years to come! (Best 2010-2030)

Auction bottle, tried my luck. Bubbles almost gone, so drank more like a Frizzante than Champagne and reminded me of a Dom Perignon from the early 80ies. The aromas were to die for though. Not oxidative but beautiful nose of honey, caranellized sugar, pear, and a touch of nuts, dried herbs de provence, ginger. Wonderful. 96+

Slightly muted on the nose but Manuka honey. Deeply flavoured ripe creamy yellow grapefruits, autumnal apples, mandarin fruits and pears with fresh waffles

1990 Dinner Hosted by Cedric Nicaise at Eleven Madison Park (Eleven Madison Park): Bread yeast flavor profile. Great acidity and very alive at age 29. Drinking beautifully today.

Expressive, lemon flower, creamy yeast, still with vivacity. Only the slightest oxidized note. A beautiful bottle.
