Very little carbonation left. coppery color, showing development. hint of VA at openeing that blew off. fragrant, rich, toasty. lacking a bit of freshness, and perhaps even a year or two past peak. so rich, that I wonder if this was ever balanced?

Just hitting its stride with some maturity showing with honeyed notes and mushroomy goodness coming through. Still with fresh acidity and punch but only got better through the night.

Hawaii Trip 2014; 6/8/2014-6/18/2014: Brioche with yellow apple and strawberry on the nose, palate of plantains and apples with roasted nuts and light caramel tapering to a mostly elegant finish. Drunk with Todd immediately after marrying him. 100 points!!! The wine gets 92-94 I guess – fairly fine mousse, well-balanced and long.
