November 2, 2015 - Miscellaneous Notes from Italy (mostly Champagne and Nebbiolo); 10/31/2015-11/6/2015 (Piemonte and Milano): November, 2014 disgorgement. Light yellow. Mildly frothy. Vibrant red apple skin, faint caramel notes, moderate dosage, excellent stoniness underneath. Delicious and fresh, more ready than I imagined it would be with the recent disgorgement date.
