  Wonderful wine tonight for Valentine's Day! Still a good bit of life left on this one as the bubbles were still fine and the flavors were a little bit of butterscotch, marzipan, and plenty of oak on the nose as well. A beautiful wine after 18 years of life and I would most likely drink up in the next 1-3 years.

  Purchased in Jan 2022. Saved for our 17th wedding anniversary (2005). The color on this is bold and stunning. A deep 24k gold color. Otherwise clear with fine bubbles and strands. Nose is concentrated and plush with brioche, oxidative apples, baked notes/yeast. Flavors are the same and extend on forever. So pleasing.

  Much more advanced and oxidized that my prior note from April 2020. Color much darker, very similar to a deep fino sherry. Rich autolytic notes, toasted almonds and bruised red apple. A little too oxidized for my tastes, unfortunately. Not sure if it was cellared poorly (55° and 60% humidity after receiving from the winery in early 2020, so doubtful), bottle variation or just characteristic of the wine with age.

  Nutty. Showing signs of age. Richer qualities as a whole. Baked yellow apples and slightly burnt honey.
