  Was thinking this was too old and almost didn’t open it today. Wow, it was very bright and only showed a slight hint of age in taste. Very nice bottle to sip in front of the fireplace.

  This wine was properly cellared in ideal conditions. The '96 Mumm DVX was an excellent sparkling wine to go with our Christmas dinner, it aged perfectly. One thing for sure is, sparkling wines from reputable wine makers such as Mumm, Domaine Carneros, Equinox and Roederer - there flagship wines, and even some of there lesser wines age very good! 1996 Mumm DVX is one that aged to as good as it could have. It is a golden color, 12.5% alcohol, the bubbles were fine and could not have been better for a wine going on 16 years of age. It gave off aromas of vanilla, cream, honey, pears, lichi, pears and baked red apples. It tasted of vanilla, lichi, pears, baked red apples, honey and cream. An impressive domestic wine, it is drinking really good right now, but will easily see 20+ years of life from vintage date and be an outstanding bubbly!!

  Fine bubbles, body is getting very light. Just over the hill for us.

  Light gold with fine bubbles; tart citrus on the nose; medium bodied with more citrus, yet sweet; lively acidity; smooth and long finish. A fun bubbly and a clear cut above the pack.

  Lots of green apple on the nose. Palate had hints of sweetness with nice roundness and acidity. Doing fine and will continue for a while.
