Happy New Year! 🎉🎈🎆🎊 🧨

From Mag. 96 an excellent vintage. Magnum is the preferred storage for Champagne.

You can sense the age from the very first sip.

Nose has a little bruised apple & pear, apple cider, dry apricots, malt, notes of caramel, sugar in the raw, cream, sea spray/fossils, understated lemon/lime pulp, slightly fermented pineapple, white spice, baguette crust, graham crackers, withering yellow flowers, lilies.

The palate is bruised apple & pear, apple cider, dry apricots, malt, notes of caramel, sugar in the raw, cream, sea spray/fossils, understated lemon/lime pulp, slightly fermented pineapple, yellow melons, white spice, baguette crust, graham crackers, hints of understated maple soda , limestone marl, crumbly, moist, white chalk, withering yellow flowers, lilies, perfect, racy acidity, excellent; balance, tension, structure and a smartly polished finish that last minutes and falls in white spice and minerals.

Served blind, I was suggesting Bollinger, due to its developed fruit character and tertiary flavors. Positive acidity. Classic stuff.

1996 Magnum. Very house-typical. Delicious. Compared with late-degorged Saint Vincent 1996 which had more unique and exciting nose and taste.
