I was expecting a standard quaffer but was pleasantly surprised by some interesting elements to this wine. As expected high acidity and lovely aromatics. Currant leaf, lemon, elderberry, smoky touch. On day two some evolvement with distinct grapefruit zestiness, tropical notes, pronounced minerality - salty! and with a tongue-drying textural element (wood tannin?). Good but somewhat austere, perfect food-wine with more to offer than many similarly priced SB.

Pnp. A bit shy on the nose. Citrus, ripe orchard fruit. Zesty palate. Oak, butter, some mineral. Good acidity and length. Great with cod and lemony beurre blanc. Should keep for several years if the fake cork can be trusted(?).

Surprisingly good. Quite nuanced, with prominent yeastiness, citrus, ripe yellow apple and lanolin. Nice creamy texture from the bubbles, a bit round. Better than a lot of entry level champagne.
