Vintage Brut Champagne Blend 1990

Did not expect to use the descriptors energetic and fresh when describing a bottle of 34 year old champagne but that’s exactly how to describe this bottle. The acidity was a thunderbolt. Somehow this bottle managed to have that wonderful combination of freshness with the complexity that comes with age . A real eye opener. — 19 hours ago

I should have noted that. It was another one of my 168s

I was able to grab some of these “mis en cave” offerings a few years ago. Imagine my pain when the ‘90s bottle was corked. Happy to hear your ‘82 was fresh.

Charles Joguet

Clos de la Dioterie Chinon Cabernet Franc 2017

Bright medium ruby with quite thin ruby , garnet rim . Quite closed with sweet cassis , touch of clove and ash , violet , dark cherry , wet stone . On the palate more of the cassis and spicy blackberry notes , dark cherry , but mineral and saline also , touch of slate , tobacco . Quite lean and refreshing, balanced alcohol . Quite high acidity and grippy tannin . Good mineral and cassis tinged finish . Elegant and refined . Needs a bit of time , will probably improve over the next 5-8 years and will last well a further 10 or so . — 21 days ago

Better than I expected. Not sure how much we paid, but well worth the price, regardless. — a month ago
