Opened after being slightly chilled. (Bottle was opened by someone for a mimosa). Shows some golden color. Nose of toasted hazelnuts and brioche. Still has some good bubbles with that toasty nut profile. Good but shows its age.

Fantastic! 23 year old blanc de blanc. Had this before Thanksgiving dinner and it did not disappoint. Absolutely enticing, sweet, flaky pastry nose. Also some vanilla, lemon and cheese danish notes. Dry with lemon, pastry and Marcona almond flavors. Absolutely wonderful!

Beautiful freshness very autolytic and improved with air. Paired beautifully with smoked salmon canapés and deep fried stuffed zucchini flowers at Eckler's!!

Cork came out with a slight whimper. Golden colored. Very fine bubbles that faded fast. Showed decent amount of age, more so than the bottle I had in the fall. Nougat and toasted caramel with some hints of dried lemon. Good balance throughout and a long finish that changes the profile more towards a burnt caramel. Still some acidity, but the palate is very dominant. Drink up

What a treat.
Really enjoyable aged champagne
Dry, but with a lovely sweet core
