Very strong mousse Idiosyncratic nose of yellow fruits, minerals, ginger, honey, lily and magnolia; like a grand cru white Burgundy. Very intensely flavored but subtle and light on its feet. A vivid wine with great vinosity and penetration. Strong acids give it a brisk, firm-edged finish. Not as creamy or thick as the 1990, but I find this more stylish. A triumph for the vintage.

Late disgorged in 2016, after 25 years on the lees! Dosage 4.5 g/l. Very sumptuous indeed. Dark gold. Pungent nose reminiscent of cordite/fireworks. Dense and dry. Massive tension. This wine attacks the palate like a spear rather than a cloud, it has such attack. There was a slight botrytised element to this extremely complex wine. It went beautifully with cheese. A great champagne. (JR)
