1990 Veuve Clicquot, La Grande Dame, Champagne, France

With almold, Honey, Flowers and apricot. Very seductive and complex. The mousse is very smooth and slowly glides in the back of the mouth to give a superp finish (94+)

Golden yellow. Toast, almonds, apricot and the mid core in nose as well as the taste had a great saffron note. The fruit is very exotic and has vibrant finish. (94)

1990 Veuve Clicquot, La Grande Dame, Champagne, France

should be able to write this TN blindfolded as I have tasted this one many times before. It’s now beautiful mature and creamy with lemon peel, lime, saffron, flowers and dark bread. Charming yes – but also signs of going into a different phase with some nerve lacking and older signs. I wrote 94 at fist, but looking at the second Champagne of the night (93)

(Tasted 1st of April 2005 - Era Ora)

I have tasted this Champagen over 20 times, and it's very consistent - a real charmer.
