Upon opening, the cork smelled suspect (potentially corked), but once poured into a glass, beautiful aromas of buttered popcorn and creme brulee exuded from the glass indicating a fantastic aged Champagne. Palate showed pronounced tertiary notes of salted caramel, toasted almonds, fresh baked pastry, and creme brulee. Still showing plenty of fine mousse, great balance of acid, and an exuberant amount of tertiary and secondary notes indicating a wonderfully and gracefully ageing Champagne from a lesser vintage. This was really quite fantastic – I am usually not the biggest fan of Veuve, but I have to concede that this was a beautiful showing. I have quite a few bottles left and am excited to open them over the next 5 years. Based on the condition of this bottle, they are just starting to peak and could last for at least another 5 years. 94-95
