  Floral red Burgs / '08 or older champagnes: Bore some similarities to the 2004 alongside, was more open and drinking better than its younger counterpart at first. Fresh citrus fruit with a tiny hint of oxidation, in a good spot now.

  Champagne 2008 and older or floral reds (Imperial Grand): Blind. Oxidative with hint of white floral notes. Fresh on the palate with almond, lively acid ending with long caramel finish.

  Mature but holding strong. Tangerine and hazelnut oil. Firm mousse, still fresh. Not the best vintage of this wine, a bit hollow but a very good drink now.

  Aluminum and ripe fruits. Juicy pineapple as well as soap. Ripe and giving, autolytic apples, some fino-like flor notes as well as apples and cream, sweet finish. Quite mild compared to a '98 we had alongside.

  This is drinking remarkably well for those of us who like a touch of resinous maturity in our champagne. Yes there are oxidative notes; yes there are lingering barrel tones; but the greatest impressions are of lemon, vanilla, chalky minerals & brioche. Superb!
