Community Tasting Note

Ms. Bubblehead Likes this wine:

Sunday, April 21, 2019 - On the nose it was very funky, yeasty, mushroom and limited fruits.
However, I really enjoyed it on the palate. I dont have a lot of experience drinking older champagne (less than 10 times having champagne before 1980s), but this bottle was largely in line with my expectation of how aged old champagne could be like vs my previous experience. It offered candied strawberry, marmalade, orange zest, and nice still vibrant acidity, which i thought was pretty amazing for champagne at this age.
