This bottle performed much better than the last. From fizz to finish, this offered a nice mixture of apple, strawberry, melon, and guava. A decent grip of acidity and longer finish than expected. For anyone that doesn't appreciate autolysis, this should be a fine alternative. 5+10+16+8= 89

Drinking very well. A lot of wines on the table, so that meant this got to warm up a bit. It met the test of being good as it warmed as well as good when served up cold. Cheers!

Notes after an hour open. Blend of 2012, 2013, 2014. Disgorged 06/21. Light golden color with a narrow and lively mousse. Ample aromas of fruit cocktail and warm cornbread. Flavors of primarily bruised apples and Lemonheads. Nice and dry, but it tastes a bit flabby and soft on acidity tonight. For the price, serviceable but not memorable. 4+11+15+7= 87

Great bargain champagne. I love this stuff because it has strong, presistent, tiny bubbles. We drank it on two consecutive evening with similar remarks. It tastes of a champagne that is much more costly and well regarded. It's dry and somewhat fruity at the same time. I'm very happy we have some more of this in the cellar. (FYI disgorged 6/2021, blend of 2012-2014)
