Really wonderful sparkling wine. Fruit was obviously (or hopefully?) oxidized a bit a la Salon since the bottle was a recent acquisition from the importer. Has more RS than a vintage Champagne but is delicious and complex.

Opened at 8am, poured taste, recorked and put in wine fridge. Consumed at 8pm.
Lovely wine, great purity of fruit on the nose. Shows tell tale violet and tar.
Extremely tannic and acidic, as to be expected. I don't really mind personally but the fruit is still so primary that it is a shame to drink this now. Seamless transition with a long finish of tar.
Great bottle of wine but do yourself a favor and forget about it for 5 years.
