This hasn't really matured much since release and I should have let it sit another 2 years. Nice nose of brioche and faint tree fruits like pear and apple. Spice. Quite full-bodied and mouth-filling. Frothy and lively with great acidity. Salty finish. As always, this is great stuff, just wish I had let it get a wee bit older! Drink now-2025 91

On the nose- Toasted brioche, almonds, lemons, lemon blossoms, light red berries, ginger, fresh lime, green apples, salinity
On the palate- Toasted brioche, almonds, lemmons, lemmon blossoms, light red berries, ginger, fresh lime, and some green apples and some great focused bright acid that lead to a focused and precise finish, this is drinking well now but I think could age for several more years easy

Macintosh apple, rose water, nice bead, very fresh (no creamy, toasty, nutty, butter-y qualities). High- acidity, but well balanced. Key lime zest on the palette.

This was a complete surprise. Long lasting bubbles, fresh, almost tropical. Yum.
