Still vital. From mag. Some toasted and sherried notes but a live wire of fresh citrus acidity. Settled soft notes of roses and some dried orange. Very good shape given its age

A 40 year old RD Champagne is not something you taste every day, especially out of Magnum! No loss of CO2 and a lovely rich prune nose with enticing fresh acidity and lots of depth. Amazing
