@Peter Marks Interesting re longevity. Just read a tasting note on the 1996 RD Where It said halfway through its life.

Hi Bob, this was the 1990 vintage, and warmer year, and I think more advanced and ready to drink than the 1996. Could be the bottle too!

Nicely mature hints of butterscotch to go with the brioche and bright streak of acidity on the finish...plenty of life left. — 9 years ago

Brut Souverain Champagne Blend

Buttered popcorn on the nose. Green apple lots of citrus. With buttered popcorn jelly bellies on the palate. Once this opens up it had a nice brioche nose as well. Very nice acidity as well. — 11 years ago
