Rosy salmon color. Very little bead -- nearly still. A touch toasty, with a strong apple note on the Nose. Medium bodied on the palate. Red fruit flavors dominate (cherry and raspberry); some noticeable sweetness, but medium+ acidity helps somewhat; a hint of chalkiness emerged after being open a couple hours. This hasn't handled its age poorly (this bottle was purchased either in 2018 or 2020), but I can't say it has improved any, either: for Champagnes with this much fruit and sweetness I generally feel they benefit from an active bead, which age has taken away from this one. Will buy again, but unlikely to sit on it.
