After 22 years my hopes were not high. Wow. Just as good, if not better than when I tasted it for the first time at Merryvale back in the 90s...when I bought this bottle.

Crisp. Tart, but not overly so. A perfect champagne for someone who dislikes your general run-of-the-mill champagne.

Mellowed nicely as compared to tasting it 10 years ago, although I miss the more intense peppery flavor of the younger 1998. — 10 years ago
