Opened, poured and not particularly dry; maybe a hint of sweetness, but more in the background. Fruit, but not really identifiable. Maybe a hint of biscuit at first sip, but faded quickly after that. A touch more acidity might have helped. All in all, not bad for the price.

Elegant and perfumed in the nose, cantaloupes, watermelons, peaches, pears, grapefruits, and white flowers; acidic, creamy, and fruity, but on the light side, citrus fruits and peels, toasts, rock salts, and yeasts; medium-long finish; overall, 89-90 points at this stage; enjoyable with its own unique characteristics.

I've often warned Cellar Tracker subscribers to take my ratings of sparkling wine with a grain of salt. No one else has rated this wine so high. Not complex, but goes down real easy. Fruity wine that has seen time in well toasted oak casks, but little or no yeastiness evident. If tasted blind, I would have guessed new world. Good value.

9/2/2023 - zhearr Does not like this wine:
traditional method and according to website at least 18 months of aging (for $10??). Somewhat sweet and drinks a bit too rustic. Not a fan
