Description

From Falstaff
1990 Vintage Tasted: Feb 2016
Medium golden yellow, delicately scented pear notes, a mere hint of walnut pervaded by ripe quince, some biscuit and brioche nuances. Full-bodied, tart acidity, yellow apple hints, nuances of figs, saline touch. An impressive length, delicate blossom honey reverberations. A versatile dining companion.
And a more recent outing!!

Remarkably, this bottle still had some fine bubbles. Glorious rich nose with all the decadence and complexity of quality aged champagne. Just the merest drying of the fruit creeping in.
