1999 Delamotte Brut Blanc De Blancs

I have had about a dozen older Diamond Creeks from the 70's on, and all have been fantastic. Some take a while to open up, but they are all one could wish for in CA Cabs. DC is one brand I buy older wines blind with good confidence.

I bet your Delamotte is going to be fun!

Delamotte makes it possible to taste a little bit of Salon. Not exactly Salon no, but Champagne Delamotte holds its own to just about any house, in my limited opinoin. The more I drink real grower champagne, the more I respect it and love it now. I really can't wait to pop the 1999!!

Moses, you should really check out the Jose Dhondt. Such a great NV!
