Interesting because this bottle was pale and frothy, with some toasty development on the nose, but just a hint of drying on the palate. Yes, it is a relatively dry style, but I think the underlying fruit is fading. Maybe that's picky--good wine but not for long keeping.

A wonderful bottle. Previous ones have been distinctly light and lacy, but this was suddenly more mature with greater roundness and complexity yet retaining a delicacy and elegance. Perhaps fully mature.

Orange gold colour. Nose richer--more pinot-like than in the past. Fine bubbles. Still with the hallmark delicacy on the palate.

This bottle had delicious gently ripe fruit combined with a long elegant palate. No drying or oxidation this time.

A charmer. Light, lovely but in a slightly oxidised style (or rather developed). Not particularly bubbly. Enjoy now.
