A nice solid Champagne. Light golden in color with a persistent stream of tiny bubble. The nose has toast and limes. Medium bodied. Good acidity. On the palate, nice lemon lime notes. Clean finish.

Golden in color with a persistent stream of tiny bubble. Frothy. The nose is tight at first but opens to show ginger, peach, toast, slight nuttiness and minerality. On the palate, this is dry and very crisp. Mostly about minerals, but some peach comes thru. With air, a slight strawberry note. An incredibly long finish. Just a delicious and complex Champagne. Drinking quite youthfully now, it should continue to drink well for the hext couple of decades. This will work with any food.

Consumed on a Celebrity Cruise Ship (Alaska) wine tasting. A blend of 75% Pinot Noir and 25% Chardonnay. Pale golden with some green hues and a steady stream of tiny bobbles. The nose is interesting with toast and limes. Perhaps a slight bit of oxidation. On the palate, this is somewhat demur but had plenty of stuffing. On the palate, more about minerality with slight pear and a bit of chalk. An interesting bitter almond note on the finish. Good acidity. This is drinking maturely but nice right now. Depending on how one likes older Champagnes, this is probably best drunk sooner th

This was Magnum 94/200. A friend's daughter was awarded this bottle from her employer, and she presented it to him for his 60th birthday which was generously shared with his friends. Amazing wine. Silvery gold in color, a steady stream of tiny bubbles, clear and bright. The nose is big with toast, Meyer Lemons, chalk and a hint of ginger. Full bodied. On the palate, this is so smooth, yet so crisp. Flavors of green apples, orange peel, minerals and some toast. So complex and deep. Incredibly long finish. This is the best DP since at least 1996. Quite a treat. In Magnum format, i

A nice showing especially considering the vintage. Light golden in color. A steady stream of smaller bubble. The nose is clean with good minerality and slight pear notes. Full bodied but overall the wine is more on the delicate side. Clean. On the palate, slight pear and nice minerality as well. Long finish. This should drink well over the next eight to ten years. Very food friendly. Nice to open a bottle of this with some popcorn.

It is amazing how much wine Moet can make and be so amazingly consistent. Of course, Dom Perignon, is at the top of their heap. Light gold with slight silver in color. A steady stream of tiny bubbles form a nice mousse. The nose is nice with slight toast and a sort of lemon/tangerine quality that is really nice. Very clean. On the palate, that lemon/tangerine quality continues with a nice dose of carbonation. Incredibly smooth and easy yet with depth and also precision. Long finish. Probably not the greatest ever vintage of DP but still excellent. Drinking quite well at the moment
