Amazing: moderately deep yellow. A superb fine mousse. Beautiful acids with apples, citrus,a touch of brioche. Sufficient body with elegance and intensity. Lovely, vivid champagne after 24 years, still in her youth.

Light yellow color in the glass, clear hue throughout with medium beading. Light notes of sherry up front followed by orange zest and freshly baked bread. Flavors of tangy yellow apples dominate with added notes of lemon zest and light cherry notes. Bright acidity, medium body. Drink or hold but in such a good place right now I'd drink.

Taseted June 5, 2006 at Mercy Wine Bar in Addison, TX with PurpleHaze, wine+art, just a skosh and PURPLE. Opened and served immediately. Difficult to determine color in the abient lighting but appeared to be light yellow to yellow color, clear hue throughout with fine to medium beads. Nose of brioche, citrus fruits and maybe some pears. Yeasty flavors of fresh bread plus some citrus fruits on the palate. Good balance overall with a light and refreshing presence on the palate. Ready to drink now. Based on an estimated current retail price approaching $90.00 and up I’d say the value here is acceptable.

Leaving NYC and moving to San Francisco; 7/16/2005-7/17/2005: Crisp acidity like biting into a fresh pear the flavors hit like a waterfall. Lots of citrus and acidity. A great crowd pleaser.
