  Similar to but maybe not quite as good as the bottle I had a year ago. There probably isn't a rush to drink these, but I'm not sure they'll get better.

  Method: 52 degrees; pop and pour; white wine glass
  
  Look: pale orange/copper; no bubbles visible after a few minutes in glass, though there was a pop when
  
  Nose: buttermilk biscuits, strawberry, light cream
  
  Palate: strawberry, white cherry, strawberry leaves, light cream, light butterscotch as it warms up; long finish of almond, chalk, light bread crust; dry; medium- to medium body; strong fizz like covering palate with tons of tiny pin pricks; medium+ acidity
  
  Overall: Good complexity with some fruit and some bitter elements. Lively bubbles that come off more as a fizz. None of the individual elements especially impress, but as a whole, this is a very good sparkling wine.

  Nose: chalk, very funky, eraser, lemon, cream, butterscotch
  
  Taste: Meyer lemon, cream, almond, wood; very elegant bubbles, frothy; long finish of almond and wood; medium + acid; dry;
  
  overall: really delicious; the first sip pops in your mouth, like the equivalent of the excitement of popping a bottle of champagne at a celebration! Really fantastic.

  For a wine that was supposed to be dead after 2010, this was great. (With proper storage the drinking window is MUCH longer than many people think)

  Very full mousse. Almost soda-like. Subtle biscuit, green apple and lime on the nose. Palate is of yeasty apple with lime and a mineral finish. Nowhere near over the hill as the WS window suggests. This will be fine for another 12-18 mos.
