Edition 166. Always nice. Precise with more lemony acid quality than I recall from past editions / bottles. But still plenty of toasted hazelnut / brioche. Delicious. — 8 years ago

A beautiful deep golden color, dried pear and baked apple, rich, nutty, and a bit earthy, as one would expect from a high quality, aged Champagne. The acid had softened, but it was still lively on the palate. Subdued effervescence allowed me to really focus in on the complex flavors and layers. A fantastic pairing with the caviar and toasted blinis- all the richness and savory, earthy flavors blended beautifully. Happy New Year everyone!🥂 — 8 years ago

20-year tawny a personal favorite. I’m always amazed how good this is whenever I have a glass. Taylor run today from Oporto by descendants of the Yeatman & Fladgate families, both of which have been partners in the firm since 1830s. Complex aromas rich with dried fruits & nutty spice. On the palate apricot and sweet berry flavors with honey and toasted nut notes, well balanced nice acidity. Lingering finish ending smooth with oaky nutty character. Very Nice. Price keeps going up each year. Tasting Sample. — 6 years ago

Tremendous #Champagne #wine. Smells of dry toasted bread, carbon and golden apples. Tastes range from green/gold apples, dry apple core, slighty doughy from lees aging. Bone dry and refreshing. Classic example. — 9 years ago

9.1

Opaque violet color with appealing graphite, toast, smoke, black fruit, and spice aromas. On the palate it medium-bodied, fresh and harmoniously structured with a supple texture, and well integrated fine tannins with black cherry, black raspberry, a hint of dark roast coffee, and subtle spice flavor accented with an wonderful minerality. Long finish. 15.5% alcohol — 11 years ago

The 2006 is good, the 2007, if you can find is a great value, awesome for a $10-13 wine. Balanced fruit with the oak taste of the 'toasted' barrel head & smooth from uncorking, improving as it breathes. — 12 years ago

My ex mother-in-law made a Swedish bread every year at Christmas. This brought all of it back, the yeast, cardamom and toasted almonds. It unfurled slowly, and my notes expanded accordingly—heady aromas of golden delicious apple, shortbread, dried honey, lemongrass, ginger and a delicate whiff of smoke. The mousse is very fine, and despite a vast, complex nose, it's razor-clean on the palate. Here, the terroir shines through tightly coiled acidity. Clean, pure layers of white grapefruit, chalk, and stone. — 12 years ago
