1996 Salon Champagne Blanc de Blancs Brut
10/23/2022 - SFBill wrote: 99 Points
Started with 3 bottles. Drank one in 2015 - gave it a 99, hoping to save the 100 for the next bottle in a few years. Best champagne I've ever had.
Today's bottle - 98; I think it's faded a bit in the last several years. Drank with oysters and caviar. Properly stored in Vinotemp.
Many recent reviews says this has years left. I dunno. My last bottle will be New Years Eve. I've lost too many great champers (Bollinger RD's) keeping them cellared for too long. I'd drink up.

Yuck. I've had a few bottles of this champers for years, all properly stored. Today's bottle (last one) was just awful. Sour, no effervesence at all.
Drink up. I think this wine is just shot.

1995 Charles Heidsieck Champagne Blanc des Millénaires

Consistent with recent reviews, this wine is in a nice spot, fully mature.
Don't wait much longer.
