I had higher expectations since the Wine Bible author recommended it. Good all around and at $50 it didn't show as much complexity as I would expect. Had next to a $25 California J sparkling from Sonoma.

Popped and enjoyed. Chilled but not cold.
Light color.
Nose offers yeasty bread notes.
A bit thin. Has a metallic finish that was unpleasant.

Aromas of toast, shortbread, slate and a whiff of smoke. Flavors pretty much match the palate. Bit better than the last time I had it.
