Triple Birthday Dinner (Ponsonby, Auckland, New Zealand): Tasty and fresh. Good depth and length. Clear and vibrant acidity. combined with understated autolysis character. Excellent value in vintage champagne - appropriate style and certainly has the ability to age in the short term(although I question whether it will improve).

For the special price (NZ$40), this was superb drinking. Unlike many budget champagnes, this has a real sense of verve and class about it. Beautiful bead and froth, fresh and direct flavours and impeccable balance. To be drunk now for its freshness as I don't see this improving with time, although it will certainly evolve. Difficult not to give it an outstanding score.
