90 first ever! Nice mouth feel, crisp, pleasant, green apple/pear on the nose and palate, light brioche in background but not as forward brioche/almond note as was hoping. Can see how this has wide appeal, but lacking some depth- will keep a few around for entertaining for sure as most will enjoy-

I never buy VC, but it was really cheap by the glass at my local Mariano’s bar. So I could drink shit Prosecco or for the cost of 2, have one Veuve. Kim K. would be proud-I chose the Veuve. It was just fine. Really acidic, and a lot of green apple flavor. A little minerality and yeast as well. It tastes like what you think champagne tastes like. That is a plus. At its inflated price (other than at Mariano’s), however, I could do better at its price (easily). Would choose Pierre Moncuit over this any day. But for today, it was just fine.

(NV Veuve Clicquot Champagne Brut) An older bottle, from a stash Jonathan Dinh has had for a few years - cinnamon and nutmeg nose; very tasty, minerally, tart citrus palate with great acidity; medium-plus finish
(VEUVE CLICQUOT BRUT) #5; NOSE-peanuts, very floral / lilac aspect, little papaya; TASTE-nice & dry, crisp, well-made, nice structure, good acidity on the back palate, nice, but not profound, one dimensional (pears & apples); GV-89

Unfortunately, we waited too long.
It was oxidized/corked
