1998 Arlaux Champagne Millesime Rare

Community Tasting Note

wrote:

92 Points

Monday, May 15, 2023 - Deep golden yellow
Heavy legs
Nose is prominently secondary and tertiary fruit: toffee and burnt caramel apple, turning to bruised yellow apple, candied lemon, nougat, baked apple pie.
Palate is medium plus acidity, very little sugar from dosage, and more one dimensional fruit of tertiary notes above
Finish is moderate length, but the mid palate lacks body

Great buy from Costco. A study in aged champagne with tertiary notes. Showing just fine, I do wonder if slightly past prime, but still instructive. 92/100
