  Incredible bottle. Drink now or keep laying it down.

  This was simply lovely. To my palate, it’s drinking at peak at age 15. A little fuller bodied than the standard Schramsberg sparkling wines, yet showing a lot of elegance. It’s got a beautiful golden color and persistent tiny bubbles. Everyone loved it as our opener for Easter dinner.

  The last wine of 2020 and the first of 2021, this is fantastic, opening and more expressive on day 2 (in a bouchon stopper to keep the magic in), notes of ripe crisp apple, bakers yeast, crust, and a long finish. Never getting tired of this. 96

  A blend of Chardonnay (84%) and Pinot Noir (16%), mainly from Napa and Sonoma. 12,8% alcohol, 12 g/l dosage and 9,7 g/l acidity. Tasted blind.
  
  Deep lemon-yellow color. Aromas of yaesty French bread, tart green apples, some lemony citrus tones, a little bit of sourdough bread and a savory hint of smoke. The wine is dry, crisp and wonderfully acid-driven on the palate with flavors of tart green apple, some lemony tones, a little bit of creaminess, light mineral notes of tangy salinity, an autolytic hint of brioche and a sweeter touch of ripe white peach, lifted by the dosage. Good sense of structure, thanks to the racy acidity and rich, silky, medium-long mousse. The finish is crisp and steely with medium-long flavors of tart green apples, some lemony citrus fruits, a little bit of pithy grapefruit, light leesy notes of yeast and a hint of bready autolysis.
  
  A very fresh, precise and serious sparkling wine that shows so much more complexity than your run-of-the-mill California bubbly. However, this wine didn't come across as complex and impressive as the best Schramsberg sparklers (J. Schram 2000, for example) I've tasted, being more similar to a good NV Champagne or a middling vintage Champagne. Very enjoyable, but doesn't really deliver for the price (94,80€) - you can get more rewarding Champagnes for half the price.

  I didn't take formal notes, but we had this last night for NYE and it was excellent. Pretty rich (strong flavors of cream, brioche, and lemon), but well balanced with a lot of life left.
