Champagne 88 times four

1988 Veuve Clicquot Rare Vintage;
Golden yellow, some bubbles. Mature, some mushrooms. A bit tired, some acidity, but it just do not keep toghether. I have had many bottles of this wine, and all have been much better, I think something is wrong with this one.


1988 Bollinger R.D.;
Golden yellow, fresh and complex nose, very mature, some vanilla, marzipan, nuts, butter, yeast. Very fresh and elegant, nice mousse, apples, minerals, at peak, no reason to keep. Very good champagne, but a little boring in this company. 88


1988 Salon;
Golden yellow. This has a class on it's own, hints of boiled crab, svaberg, hints of fresh green apples, still very youthfull and off course, elegant as few. Very complex. Fragrance perfection. The balance is on a league of it's own, exceptionally delicate and tender, still so complex and intence, the acidity is perfectly cleansing and fresh, aftertaste is almost infinite. Dessert island wine......98
