Community Tasting Notes 28

  November 30, 2019 - Cellared since release. Light gold color. Fine mousse. Yeast, brioche, nutty aromas with peach and apple on the nose. Perfectly mature with complex mix of fruit and aged oxidative nutty notes on the palate, great balance, medium-long finish. Should hold for a few more years but unlikely to improve further. Excellent.

  April 21, 2017 - Depending on your threshold for oxidative notes, this is either over the hill or an interesting wine with a nice patina of age - hence the lack of a score. The golden color lets you know what you're in for. The nose is heavy with oxidative and autolytic notes and the fruit has a baked quality to it. On the palate is has a ton of brioche, nutty oxidative notes, baked apples, meyer lemon, ginger and an odd vanilla note towards the finish that I can only guess came from barrel fermentation. This probably has the finest mousse I have come across in a domestic sparkling wine and it is one of the real strengths of the wine. I think this probably would have been a little better a few years back, but it isn't horrible. The larger takeaway is that these wines don't have anywhere near the arc of maturation that you would expect from Champagne.

  July 26, 2015 - Quite dark yellow in colour, with aromas of macerated Apple, some stone fruit, and toasted notes, palate was still bright with the fruit showing well and medium plus acidity and finish, cellared since release.

  December 31, 2013 - Cellared since release. Very light gold, nice mousse. More fruit than toast/bread on the nose: peach, tropical, plus some floral honeysuckle notes. Medium body, crisp fresh fruit, great balance, medium fish. Excellent.
