07&08 F.X. Pichlers (Tooch's apt, Washington DC): nose: nice crisp and balanced nose of bread, minerals, citrus tones, and bits of peach blossoms. Very well balanced with a real freshness to the nose as well as good depth
taste: real tasty medium feel with medium+ acidity and refreshing tones of pears, lots of minerals, citrus tones, and bits of peach blossoms. The acidity is very noticeable, but it isn't too obtrusive at this time
overall: A real fun bubbly. Well balanced with a real mineral streak on it and some very good and refreshing tones. On the young side, but like other 99s, it seems open for business and while it can age, its extremely good right now
