    May 19, 2022 - Big bold, red fruited, nice bubbles, earthy and stemy

  • rhapsody5435 Does not like this wine: 79 points

    October 13, 2019 - 开瓶之后不久有马厩味或太严重的动物毛皮味。摇动杯子后会很明显,缺少果味,不愉悦

    January 19, 2019 - No formal notes, but cellaring this for a couple of years seems to have done this well. I could be making this up, but feels more integrated and harmonious than I remember other bottles from this case at the expense of a bit of energy. Seems like a worthwhile trade off in this case.

    October 3, 2018 - This is a good Brut Rosé. Very straightforward but enjoyable with its yeasty notes.

  • ConnIntChicago Likes this wine:

    May 17, 2016 - Pink in color, small persistent bubbles, yeasty nose, strawberries, medium plus acid with good length on the finish. Clean and crisp wine, not overly complex, but well made wine. Drink now.
