Sushi and Champagne at Billy's (Billy Sushi, Mpls, MN): Pale gold color. Drank a glass over 30 minutes. Young, taut acids, nougat, red cherry, deep, waxy, oxidative, candied apricot jam, lemongrass. Give this a couple years.

This has an elegance and is refined, but at the same time a brightness and energy that makes it very appealing. I like the smell a lot, though I have a hard time describing it. Some yeasty notes with something that makes me think of mineral and saline. A little tart, but in a good way. Some citrus and maybe cherry as it warms up. Really enjoyable. October 2020 disgorgement.

Nice, no, very nice and a superb value. There's a light cherry note that says Pinot but a salinity and citrus base. Yummy stuff.

Delicous bottle of Champagne. I love this producer and this bottling. Beautiful notes of small berries, candied citrus, and minerality. So good.

My last bottle of 12, always a thrill, sometimes hard to get.
