Remarkably fresh at such advanced age. Crisp, juicy apples with a hint of funk. Nice long cider-y finish.

Very pretty sparkler with lots of aged tropical fruit and no shortage of subtle length. This really benefited from a half hour of air.

1991. Had high hopes for this, but it didn't deliver. PJ said not a good bottle, so judgement reserved.

1991 vintage. It is an aquired taste. Too many bitters for my personal liking but a good effort.
Thanks for sharing B!

Took 2 hours to begin to open and show dried yellow apple, pear, and lemon peel. Oxidative aromas of roasted nut, light caramel, and roasted oolong. Butter. Perfect toast. Also fills out on the palate with time. Sweet fruit quality balanced by firm minerality, light tannin, and high acid. Medium plus finish. Drink now. Paired with Prosciutto and Lilli’s birthday month...

The color hasn't faded at all and is still a honeyed golden hue. Baked apple, honey, and pear dominate the nose with little autolytic character. The mousse dissipates fairly quickly. There is great fruit and a bit of mid-palate sweetness but it finishes fairly dry. So pleased Lauer is disgorging some of these nice old bottles.
