Opened this not expecting much as it appeared to have been multiply re-gifted over time (sales receipt 12/20/05 inside the box). And while it did not live up to some of the other champagnes I have had recently, it did have a pleasing oxidative/fruit tension clean acid and fine/restrained/fading carbonation. Ended up using a little less than I had planned for cooking.

It's clear that it holds up super well! The bouquet combines fruity notes of pear, hint of orange blossom, brioche notes and almonds in complete coherence. It's digestible and long in the mouth. It can be drunk well in all circumstances without leaving a headache.
