Bubbly at Green Street Smoked Meats (Chicago, IL): By all accounts, baby Salon. The nose and palate showed quite strangely, and there was a persistent dill note that was really hard to understand. Not oxidized or over the hill, this was surprisingly fresh -- it tasted like good old white Burgundy with bubbles -- just a hint of mushroom, no nuttiness, and very little of those old white wine flavours. I would have enjoyed this a lot more if I could get over that weird dill tone.

Opened a magnum for a birthday dinner and it was a fantastic experience. Intense yellow color, small and slowly moving bubbles, a full and very generous nose with red apples, honey, toast and vanilla. Long and very smooth taste. A rare pleasure to enjoy!

This drank like it was 10 years younger. Fresh and layered - honey, vanilla, citrus, toasted bread. Expressive nose, balanced complex palette, persistent finish. 8-18-8-8

Had lost its effervescence but was still tasty none-the-less.
