Perfect. Flawless. Light golden yellow color. Plenty of bubbles. No sediment. No rim variation. Low to Medium fruit intensity. Nose of grapefruit, lemon, lime, pears, white flowers. Dry. Low acid. Low tannin. Medium to medium minus alcohol, and, a long, long finish. In my opinion this is the essence of Franciacorta sparkling wine. And, it is simply the essence of any sparkling. Best I have ever had. Perfectly drinkable. This big boy has an amazing bottle life left. Sadly, my one and only. If you have this one, enjoy.

Single blind tasting of 12 champagnes and sparkling wines: Mature and complex. Elegant. Baked apples. Saline minerality, almost a Kimmeridigian quality. Quite noble. Wine of the tasting, a fraction ahead of La Grande Annee 04.

Very toasty, yet super fresh. Complex.
