Quite a nice surprise. Mature notes of honeycomb, red apples, Asian pears, candied ginger, and crushed shells. With air, some lemon and yellow apples on the finish. Crisp and lovely.

this wine is the 10/2012 disgorgement. for my palate, i prefered this wine younger when it was more linear, minerally and austere. this wine is not quite sherried but it is moving into that direction, and my inclination would be to drink then sooner rather than later...
Bright citrusy fruit with some apple/pear notes as well. Whiff of yeast. Nice dose of mineral, but this does stay on the silky/fruity side. Lacks brass (made Nancy happy but I like the metallic edge in Champagne). Good with both a light salad and an incredibly rich cod/artichoke/braised bacon dish.
