Another birthday vintage bottle, this one I’ve been holding on to for a year or two. As the world gets complicated and scary it becomes much easier to open your best wines. A tired sigh upon opening, mostly still by the time four glasses were poured. This showed lots of oxidative notes, while still possessing a ton of fresh acidity. Aromas of amontillado and oloroso sherry, NYC Hot Nutz stand, and caramel, with the palate introducing fresher stone fruit elements. A touch of RS. Delightful and special. Certainly the oldest champagne I’ve tried.

Perfect moment of age and development and freshness. Hints of roasted nut and honey, with amazing fresh acidity. Fantastic nye wine.

Racy and complex, with welcomed oxidative notes. Cliquot's first vintage since the 60s with some barrel fermentation

Tasted magnum first, then Bottle. Much preferred the magnum personally, it was a brighter fresher wine. The bottle definitely showed more oxidative character.
