Wow sparkling. Signs of oxidation but not distracting on the palate. Apple, rich honey, pie crust and nice acidity with tine bubbles. Big hit w friends. Special bottle.

Butterscotch in color. Nose of yeasty bread, a hint of orange, and caramel. Effervescent on entry with bread flavor and strong caramel apple. Very very well balanced! Great wine!

Drinking so well right now, may be my new favorite domestic sparkler (Ultramarine BdB is waiting in the wings though.)
Loads of brioche, biscuit, and maybe even some Parmesan with a touch of sweetness on the finish. Paired well on Day 1 with Pizza and just as well on day 2 with Grilled Lobster. Ignore the 'best by 2020' dates, this easily has another 3+ years to go.

Superb champagne! At almost 20 years old, this was a delight.

Slightly corked but still enough to ruin it
