Brut Champagne Blend 1988

9.6

1988 vintage. At Elystan in London. Deep golden hue - Sauternes like colour. Nose is remarkably fresh, possibly due to recent disgorgement date direct from the House. Almost closed until the wine warmed up, displaying butterscotch and honeysuckle, citrus notes and lemon curd. On the palate, huge waves of acidity keep this wine incredibly youthful. Great concentration and depth to the wine. Long finish. The stand out feature, for such an old wine, is the balance and elegance here - super harmonious. Still has a long way to go - drink now until 2023+++. — 8 years ago

Wax on with zesty lime and green apples, and wax off with a long bitter honeysuckle finish. Pairs well with nutty tomme cheeses, but does well on its own as a Sunday afternoon snack. — 9 years ago

Deep golden colour, caramelised pear fruit and layers of oak aromas. Palate soft, buttery and rich, with surprisingly fresh acidity. Oxidative wood ageing for four years makes a wine that speaks more of oak than fruit - one for fans of Sherry/Whiskey like me! Paired well with umami-rich dish of teriyaki beef and aubergine . — 9 years ago

Sushi and Champagne is one of my favorite combinations. Indeed, almost all celebrations that @Cara Zimmerman and I enjoy together will include this duo. This was somewhat of a step up from our norm as Sushi Zo is a world apart from our usual delivery order of tuna and salmon rolls (with free edamame). Likewise this 1975 DP was rather more elevated than our weekly fizz.

Dark golden color with rich, brioche and mature elements. A touch too advanced but enormously attractive and retaining terrific purity and energy. Sushi and Champagne has rarely been such a treat. — 8 years ago

CFE '93 from Magnum is a huge wine. Lovely varnished birch-wood yellow with good bite in the legs; decanted 20 minutes before serving to allow the initial paraffin-like fumes to dissipate - revealing golden apple compote with hints of dandelion, Chinese gooseberries, and a touch of rained-on granite. Acidity tailing off a bit but still bringing it all together nicely. — 9 years ago
