Very young color, on the palate and the nose green apple. Smooth on the palate with very good bubbles. Very plateauing during the Omakase dinner we had. Drink or even hold for a couple more years.

ROAD TRIP ŕ Warwick et Racine avec 2 FOUDUVIN (RESTO AVV Lampron Highland Grill de Warwick): Bu au resto AVV Lampron Highland Grill de Warwick avec les FOUDUVIN Bulle et PATH133! Super vif et vineux, acidité mordante, c`est bien vif et ciselé. Super saveurs de pommes, de levures et de citrons avec un peu de crême patissière. Hyper long et fort gouteux. Il ne m`en reste qu`une sur mes 12 achetés! EXCELLENT encore une fois.

After opening a 2012 two weeks ago, I wanted to check in with the 2005. I also open a vintage L’Ermitage every 4th of July (as well as a bottle of zin), as it’s hard to beat this American sparkler at the price (and if you can, tell me).
Again, just a total QPR winner as evidence by this being 16yrs young. I believe this is the “oldest” L’Ermitage I’ve had, and my love for this sparkler is cemented. At its age, it really hasn’t oxidized much at all. I get a kiss of an autolysis flair here, but it’s more just rich and flamboyant. Yeasty/toasty. Toffee, honeycomb (always get that with these), sea salt and cinnamon topped golden delicious apple. Added notes of bruised pear and caramel round out the rich, yet vibrant, finish. The fact that these (yes, this vintage) can be picked up locally at $45-50 is just crazy. Takes a lot of restraint to not buy all they have.

Bu pour la veille du nouvel an! Super bulles, ça vieilli super bien, ne pâli pas du tout devant des Champagnes 2X son prix! Excellent encore une fois. C`est vineux et délicieux. C`est sur la brioche et long sur une finale qui laisse le palais nette et prêt pour la prochaine lampée. Superbe.
