  Beautiful reflective gold with slight signs of oxidation. Nose of curry, beeswax, old honey, on a very expressive nose. Pleasant oxidation with wonderfully alive lemon fruit at the mod-palate through the finish. Notes of beeswax as well. Exquisite.

  With great reluctance I opened my last bottle of this wonderful wine tonight. Soft-sweet sherry notes with a citric (mandarin?) undertone. Absolutely delicious, but hard to pair. We drank with caviar and crab raviolis but it is so succulent that a cheese course might have been a better match. Probably should rate higher but I will be conservative - jealous of anyone who still has more in their cellar.

  This is the second bottle of old VC I have been fortunate to taste over the past few months. Delightful, with mature hazelnut characteristics and a fresh zippy finish. Going strong. (93)

  Still lively and truly delicious. Full of that toasty, mushroom flavor that only comes from aged. vintage champagne.
