  From a magnum. VERB put it perfectly. This is wonderful, powerful, yet elegant old Champagne. Plentiful bubbles

  Pausing for the Cause 2022 (Chicago, IL): From magnum. Way too browned, this was past its drinkability window for me.

  Very pleasant surprise. Wonderful aged champagne. Great dark golden. Bit of butterscotch, but subtle. All of the positive oxidative notes with little of the negative. Very balanced. A few bubbles left.

  if you don't love old champagne, don't waste your time reading this note - medium gold color, no hints of orange - very fine bubbles that persisted for 1-2 hrs - beautiful old brioche nose with light to moderate oxidation, dried apples and pears, asian spices (Saigon cinnamon), and flinty minerality - full-bodied mouth with loads of very ripe apple/pear fruit, more oxidative flavors than in the nose - great acidity that provided a refreshing youthfulness to a mature champagne - longer finish than most red wines of the same age with a beautiful sweet aftertaste sans any hint of bitterness - I agree with earlier tasting notes that it combined both impressive power with delightful elegance - as much as I like La Grande Dame, I think this 90 is even more perfectly balanced (assuming that's possible!) - sad that his was my last bottle, but it was well worth waiting for

  Didn’t expect much. Still some left. Golden, mello, has lost most of bubbles, drinking more like a well aged chard.
