An extra three years on the cork really benefited this wine. Like many 2009s, this one is drinking really well right now.
The nose definitely shows the predominance of Pinot in the blend, with strong notes of strawberry and a touch of brioche. On the palate, the Chardonnay takes over with strong lemon and apple wrapped in mouth coating acidity. Really lovely all around.

energetic mousse, quite the fruit salad on the palate, not a zero dosage champagne. I find the blood orange, grapefruit freshness/bitterness makes this slightly more interesting.

Mycket frukt på näsan, apelsiner, gula äpplen, blommor, något orent också (bränt gummi?). I munnen är det mer frukt (päron) men den är lite tunn och har en störande beska i eftersmaken. Jag hade önskat mig mer syra också. Eftersmaken är kort. Det här är ingen champagne i min smak och blint vete sjutton om jag ens gissat på Champagne.

Consistent with prior review - Very pale yellow color with abundant active tiny bubbles. On the nose it show pear, green apple, brioche, sea shell and a hint of citrus aromas. On the palate, it's bone-dry with a creamy mousse, and crisp mineral driven acidity. This is a harmonious wine with green apple, pear, lemon and a hint of spice flavors. Blend of 30% Chardonnay, and 70% Pinot Noir 12.5 alcohol

The nose is very classic; brioche, yeast, and stone fruits. The mousse is very fine, not too aggressive. On the palate, this is rich and long. Good with food or just fine on its own.

Cruzu Nose - plum, earth, hightoned, fragrant Mouth - well balanced, strawberries on the mid palate followed by a very racy tangerine kick. Hints of anise at the end. Very fresh and lively. Recommended.

Bread, oregano, sweetish yellow frukt and play-doh.
Good acidity, grapefruity mouthfeel, dung, cedar wood. For some reason, it feels like a red wine.

Red apples, pear syrup, artificial banana. Harsh bitter on the palate, good acidity though. Lacks body.
