This is one wine where I have encountered better bottles

apt for a 30 year old Champagne – alive and kicking

Silky and taut on entry

Kirwan Vintage:2005 This is one wine whereKirwan is a Margaux classified growth that is making noticeable improvement. The 1993 possesses a dense, ruby purple color, and straightforward, clean, ripe aromas of black fruits, herbs, and new oak. With medium body, above average ripeness and concentration, this moderately tannic, well made wine requires 5 6 years of cellaring; it will age well for 15+ years. Last tasted 11 94
