Oxidised but underlying chestnut and truffle, this could’ve been great.

1973 proved an exceptional year in Champagne resulting in wines with a wonderful depth of flavor. An incredible Champagne coming across so young and fresh that one would never guess it is over 40+ years old. Sporting a vibrant golden color, the R.D. still had a last few bubbles clawing their way to the top. On the palate there’s plenty of zippy effervescence and racy acidity.

Raisins, baked apples, marzipan, vanilla, plus a slight shellfish + salty minerality. Still has plenty of acidity and structure to keep on going, but I must say, this bottle has had perfect preservation in the cellars at Bollinger. Love the rum-raisin and sherry-like quality in these ages Champagnes...

Past it. Might not have had the best storage? Krug 90 almost made up for the tears.
