Tasting notes
Looks as though this was an original release that I have kept in my cellar for many years. Mid amber colour. Really savoury evolution bordering on over-mature! Specially chosen to serve to David Boobbyer, who says he loves old champagne. Wine to really soothe a sore throat. Only just fizzy but that suits me… Undertow of wax and nuts. Then lovely green foliage on the end. I see we have only an unsatisfactory note on the P2 iteration of this wine, but I think this bottle is looking splendid … if fully mature! (JR)

Very fine aromas of quinine, lemon, lime, minerals and gingery; lightly musky suggestion of yeast autolysis. Very intensely flavored and solidly structured but already quite accessible and open to inspection. Slightly aggressive finish shows excellent persistence. Doesn't offer the complexity or grip of the best D.P. vintages, but this is ripe and delicious wine. Nov 1999, www.vinous.com
