More Champaggner?
The one good thing about getting older is you generally get more chances to enjoy the finer things in life, Champagne being a prime example. I'm talking about the genuine stuff from France, the best of which leaves our Aussie sparklers in the dust, the worst of which is a rip off.
On the subject of value I've always believed money spent on something you don't enjoy is money wasted regardless of how cheap it is. So a bottle of Bollinger is infinitely much better value than a bottle of Omni Blue, oh the horrors! So without further ado here are the champagnes, I'm still too poor to afford a taste of vintage champagne so it's all non-vintage stuff and scores are out of 20.
Moet & Chandon Brut Imperial 15
Had it on it's own after dinner and again with oysters. A fine mousse, nice flavours but seemed to lack a depth to them. Nice crisp finish. Not my favourite champagne, needs more depth of flavour and a bit more crispness, but it's obviously popular for a reason.
