Further to my Note of Sept 7, '19; this may be the last bottle. Holding up well--perhaps a bit more golden than last time, ample and persistent bubbles, rich fruit nose and body. Wanting more, but that might be pushing it.

Bought 4b for 19/b as part of a wine department reset (closing out this label) at a local international supermarket six years ago; this is #3. Light gold; still full of bubbles, toasty. Delicious, glad I have one more. Stored horizontally in a cool, dark basement since purchase. My evaluation: I've stopped giving scores on a "100-point scale" as I've become less convinced that they can be meaningful to others. I use a 4-category scale (perhaps with +/-)--not including flawed--which runs outstanding/notable/drinkable/poor. I considered this notable+ when considering quality, age, and price.

Fish crudo with ginger, great for light appetizer. Extremely bubbly but soft bubbles.

La Fête du Champagne Grand Tasting (Pier Sixty - New York NY): Walkaround tasting. Simple, balanced, interesting and bright enough.

there is an off, green note on the nose. it doesn’t carry through to the palate, but the palate is at best nondescript. Not one i’ll seek out again.
