Light gold color. Green apple skin flavors, with some lemon and floral notes. Intensely chalky. Plum and plum skin. This needs a decant as it is still quite young right now and will age longer. It has some earthy and faintly leesy notes but very much under the skin.

Excellent bubbles to accompany trimming the Christmas trees. Baked apple and vanilla notes highlight the nose. The palate is much more linear and precise with a nice backbone. There is decent depth but I don’t feel this bottle has totally settled. Some upside here. (91+?)

Still young, very chalky, and brightly acidic, which will hold this for a long time. Good for another decade or two. Easily another couple points of upside. HOLD!

Wonderful wine. Slightly cloudy and golden color portends a fullish, deep and satisfying glass of bubbles. Vivacious. Long. (93)

Very fine bubbles. Mature apple fruit with a strong yeast element. Very dry and mouth puckering yet with super flavor depth. Excellent. (93)
