1985 Louis Roederer Cristal Brut
Beautiful fully mature Champagne with a fine bead and surprisingly amount of mousse and freshness. Lots of toasted brioche on the nose with lemon zest, kaffir lime, and just the slightest hint of butterscotch. The palate was pure Meyer lemon, with crisp acidity and wonderful texture. The finish was exceptionally long. It is nice to drink aged champagne that is well stored and remains fresh; while others love the butterscotch/sherried aged notes in Champagne, freshness is the most important feature for me.

I know this is real, but that photo looks so AI generated haha
I just checked OP’s post history. They drink better wine than me.
Wow, I would love to try a Cristal with age on it. Vintages from the 80s are hard to come by.
well kept wines are on another level, glad you had a great time
