A bit past prime. Some maderization and caramel notes, but otherwise a pleasant crisp bubbly on a hot summer evening. REALLY enjoyed this upon release years ago.

Champagne Tasting (Sal's Beverage World, Elmhurst): Dominated by Pinot Noir. Apple and toast notes; has a dirty quality that's appealing. Nice texture with good fruit; toast and smoke qualities. $23.49.

Nose of apple and pear and a little bit of lees. Palate mostly of red apples, pear with some notes of bread. Good acidity. Overall not very complex, pretty straightforward but good. Would have liked it better around $20. 87 - 88+

This one appeared to be well past it's drinking date - metallic and harsh, did not drink.
