Lemon yellow. Fine bubbles. Elegant aroma with something in the deep area. Creamy. Aged flavor. Changed a lot. Dried brioche came out later and quite impressive. Louis Roederer Cristal 12 @9750, wine plus - vic, 260510 — a month ago
Medium lemon yellow fine , persistent perlage . Quite rich and ripe on the nose with some roasted nuts , lemon peel , some camomile , still quite restrained and a little closed. On the palate again quite full and rich , ripe lemon fruit , orange rind , roasted nuts and a creamy mouthfeel , certainly enough acidity to balance but on the richer side . Good length and lightly toasty finish . This is good now but will probably improve over the next few years and last well a further 5-10 . — a month ago
Medium straw with green reflexes . Quite creamy , toasty on the nose at first , lemon pith and some yellow fruits, light herbal hints , chalky notes after a while . Quite rounded and generous on the palate but with great balance . Fresh acidity , good extract . Good length , with lightly toasty finish . Still quite lean and detailed but with a pleasing richness . Good lemon tinged , stony length. Drinking quite well now , but this is pretty young will age quite well , probably better in 3-5 years and last well a further 3-5 . At Auberge de L’ill in Illhaeusen. — 7 days ago
Cork broke into two pieces, but got the bottom 1/3 carefully using a standard French waiter, no cork was left in the bottle. Color looks quite youthful for a 36-year-old Grand Cru Chablis, initially some SO2/matchstick aromas, but they blew off quickly. Followed by lemon, mineral, flavors are similar, perfect, lively acidity, great persistence and length, for Chablis I suppose 1990 was a warmer vintage (13.5% ABV), but this bottle is amazing and almost perfect, WOW!!’ — a month ago
