Friday, March 11, 2005 - Wine-pages.com London Champagne Off-Line (Alba Restaurant, Whitecross Street): This took some opening: up to four people were working on it, and even a monkey wrench was brought to bear. Reportedly bottled for the millennium, so it has at least 5 years bottle age, though when you’re dealing with something the size of a methusaleh you’d expect that bottle age would need to be at least tripled to have the same effect as in a single bottle. So, all the more surprising that this has quite an aged nose with a touch of reduction. Creamy citrus flavours on the palate, but clearly showing some age. Very Good.
