1988 Disgorged September 2000 this wine is really singing ! Aromas of poached pear , saline , minerals , caramel and stone fruit blossoms . On the palate the wine is rich yet racy with fig , nougat and dried fruit Flavors .

Full of contrast, mature fruit with lively acidity.

Side by side with a Krug Brut vintage 1995 it didn’t stand a chance. A bit advanced, gold in color, still a good amount of mousse and quite savory. But at 34 years old a pleasant drink

Golden, amber color. Tiny bubbles. Lots of toasted bread with citrus notes. Minerals. Very nice.

Delicious old Champagne, lovely old ripe, slightly caramelised apple flavours. A treat with Comte.
