I've come down in the world

Last New Year was seen in with Salon 1995, this year all I could get my hands on was Moet et Chandon Grand Vintage 2000. Still it would be churlish to complain.

Surprisingly pale despite its time in the bottle, the Moet Grand Vintage 2000 has a wonderful nutty attack that leaps from the glass, so much so that a colleague deemed it inappropriate after midnight as it was "too much of a meal in a glass". The fruit characters are subdued, tending more towards the softness of ripe pear and the yeasty, toasty elements are pleasingly correct, if a little dominant. a 3 glass wine.
