M DU VIN Does not like this wine:
70 Points
Thursday, October 22, 2015 - Disgorged in 2009. This champagne was a major disappointment as it was overly oxidized and well past its time.

Most of these were disgorged in 2008, but the bottle I opened last night had been disgorged in October 2009. Substance tends towards an oxidative style and I think that this style can result in an over-oxidized bottle if one cellars the wine for more than a couple of years.
