May 8, 2024 - I have never been a huge Ayala fan but their Blanc de blancs vintage has been impressive over the years. This shows good ripeness underneath a delicate style- lemon citrus, green apple and chalk with subtle white blossoms on the nose. More leesy complexity with air-time and this should continue to age very well. Some people have commented on the lower acidity in this vintage but this is very good with upside potential. 93+

February 18, 2024 - Disgorged November 2021. Initially this seemed reduced to me, with the aromatic signature of it. It seemed to disappear with air, reverting to more of a white flower/honeysuckle. Fruit cup-like flavors of peach and mango, with elevated ripeness, or my perception of the wine seemed like the dosage and or ripeness was giving on a richer tone, kinda candied.

August 23, 2023 - This was soft and a bit flabby, bread dough, brioche, a pleasant bubbly with interesting nose but falls flat on the palate. Bacari w/ gang for tripple header b-day
