Sunday, December 23, 2018 - Very solid showing of Initial!
A little austère at first, very dry.
Only a little effervescence (very fine bubbles), more a wine than a Champagne.
Then as the evening went on (and warmed up) it opened up to wonderful aromas of pears, ginger and oak.
Very well balanced and structure.
Next time i will follow the recommendation and decant it.
