Nose was very fragrant with cherry as the dominant component. Unfortunately, the flavor seemed dominated more by alcohol than anything else; I think that the recent warm weather may have taken its toll on this bottle before I had opportunity to drink it.

Color as others have described: goldenrod with a hint of light green. The nose and palate disagreed more than I expected; aroma was grassy, with hints of grapefruit. Though not at all expected, "butter" was the first word that entered my mind on the first sip, giving way to apple and pear. All in all, a very enjoyable wine that I could see being versatile with a variety of foods.

Drank with friends at a New Year celebration. Was expecting something a little fruitier, though the champagne hardly qualified as dry. Good carbonation, quite smooth, almost no alcohol flavor or aroma. Color was somewhat darker than other champagnes and sparkling wines at the event.
