........and we'll toast LU at 120
Ah!...
That calls for a great celebration....
Red wines, well no match to a great bottle of Borgogne.
Specifically my favorite of favorites. Richebourg, last one I tried was a this past October (the year... I forgot, I think it was 90 or 92, or ? sorry), but I remember an 1985 drank earlier, which it was one of the best wines I have ever tasted.
These truly are the wines for Kings. The great Pinot Noir.
All the Richebourgs are incredibly delicious, powerful, soft, warm, luscious, and spicy. My kingdom for [a warehouse full] of these wines.
I remember one time, with friends, we had two of these beauties in a restaurant.... that was before they became.... fabulously expensive.

But for LU at 120...
As for a great Champagne, as I said, I like Taittinger "Comtes de Champagne", but for a special treat... Salon.
I have had it once, and it was memorable, it was like a full bodied Chardonnay.... with bubbles, incredible.
Champagne is drunk cold and with the bubbles at full blast, it is part of the fun. This wine, you could taste it, actually I did not mind as it warmed up a bit, as its flavor became more intense. I will definitively try it again.
