  December 9, 2023 - Fine for now, but I'll take the recommendation of other reviews and put the other in the cellar for a few years

  September 7, 2022 - Drinking spectacularly well albeit still quite young. Starting to show some mature notes but with proper cellaring this easily has 1-2 decades to go. Highly recommend. Given the price point a reasonable but not particularly good QPR. Enjoyed with the appetizer course in Helsinki at restaurant OLO with their higher end tasting and wine pairing menu - paired superbly with raw sweet Icelandic shrimp with a complex sauce. Classic higher end small production grand cru rosé champagne. Medium bodied, starting to develop some complexity and layering with a very pleasant medium length aftertaste. Slightly darker then salmon pink, clear and with clustered small bubbles. Nose bright, explosive and effervescent with lees, bread, tangerine and a heavier sweeter note of maple syrup. Flavor profile more tropical and fruity with lees, yeasty bread and kitchen spices up front rapidly giving way to dark cherry, a hint of caramel, canteloupe and mango.

  December 25, 2021 - Delicious young wine, without the complexity that would earn a higher score. I suspect this needs a few more years. Paired nicely with cheese souffle.

  December 20, 2021 - Beautiful medium salmon colour with strawberries, pomegranate, rosehip and unripe melon with nice whiffs of yeasty bread. Dry, light body with tiny energetic bubbles and quite high in acidity. Beautiful flavours of strawberry, sour cherries, apricot and some bitter citrus in the long finish, with a touch of nuttiness. Lovely!
