Moet & Chandon Grand Vintage

In magnum. Quite a bit more mature than the last magnum I had. Got a cold so not picking up much. Very nice from the bits I am picking up though! Tiring a little sadly…drink the rest up quick!

Wonderful smell that brings me back to my childhood. A hint of mousse. Good acidity. A touch of chocolate orange caresses beautifully. Charcoal. Acidity is beautifully high.

Tiny bubbles. Much darker. Very closed. Sweet buttered toast. Incredible balance, so delicate. Almost perfect softness to the mousse and body brilliantly linking the front-mid-late palate. Wonderful freshness. There is a wonderful balance of bitterness. 10 year + disgorged.

Lovely, sweet rich nose. Good fruit up front. Lovely light toast. Chrome cap with cork later. Lovely mousse. Almost one directional and coffee notes. Gilled fish. Krill. 10 years of post disgorgment here giving this its structure – fresh.

Wonderful. There is a softness against the ’98, as it was on the cork rather than cap. Great acidity and bite. Fishy, stoney notes. Really gripping. Great acidity and richness.

Hint of cheeseyness on the nose. Creamy controlled wine. Good pineapple fruit direction. Very tight. Stoney mineral character. Lychee. Oyster, flint. So fresh.

Bready attack, good acidity. Bready mousse. Very refined. Good balance in the mouth. Slightly wanting in the mid-late palate. Weight is in the front-mid.
