Sunday hangout (Glencoe, IL): From jeroboam. Golden colour. What a champagne. So fresh, but heady, rich, and opulent and the same time. How it manages this balance is magical. Those old Heidsieck wines were really something, and really worth seeking out.

From 3.0L this needed a half an hour of air to blossom. In good form and at peak maturity from this large format. Lots of Krug-like patina with mushroom, oyster shell, and small red berry fruit. This was quite a treat and has held on very well.

La Fete: Gala Dinner (Chelsea Piers: Pier 60): From a 3L. There's a bit of oxidation but overall I think drinks a lot better than I'd think for an '87. Really nice and good amount of age.

Dark, golden colour. Mature notes, with apple, etc and quite complex. This is quite thrilling to drink, and highly recommended. Seems to be fairly priced as well.
