$35, Retail. Start outs great, mid palate great, does not follow through on the finish. The finish is unbalanced & a bit on bitter. If not for the bitterness that is evident on the finish, I could agree with WS's 92 points. But, overall the wine falls off & does not deliver the goods on the finish. So, my rating of 89 points & drink or hold.

89 pts for a vintage Champagne that costs $35.00 a bottle still isn't such a bad QPR, especially if your bottle was slightly off compared to the ones WS tasted. Might be worth a flier in my book.

No argument here, wiml, I agree. The prices for vintage bubbles is out of hand. Only a few years ago, champagnes were reasonably priced & affordable. Anyway, getting back to this bottle. I just don't see 92 points in it. Otherwise, a solid bottle.
