Celebrated a good friend's BDay and we started with a mag that to the best of my knowledge was disgorged around 2007. A whiff of Maderization on the aromatics as the cork was removed and on the first pour but both the color and flavors promised good things to come. Within 10-15 min the citruce fruit emerged in full and the wine got brighter and lively. Lots of yellow fruit, good mid palate and base notes from the 40% PN. Creamy with nice delicate bead and a generous mousse, this got bettter & better as we went along and suddenly poof it was all gone. Funny how that happens when a mag starts to sing.

Simple aroma, mostly citrus, lemony, with a hint of apple. On the palate, clean and refreshing but also simply straightforward taste. Price under 30 is correct.

The nose is so restrained, and hints at elegance and subtlety, with sweet flowers, and some yeasty notes coming through. The palate is not. It is singular in focus with it’s seething,racing acidity. The finish is long, however I am uncertain if this is pleasant. It does allow you to pull some Lemon notes, maybe some salinity, some green plant matter( think celery, wild onion ), Mid 80s, nothing wrong but not quite right either.
