  Tasted blind. Med yellow. Wow, wonderful nose with apple cider, pear, honey, quince, fantastic complexity, some nuts. The caramelized sugar, rich palate, not oxidative, age coming from the bottle not the oak. A really great surprise to start this evening. 96+

  Straw color. Initial small bubbles flatten out quickly-still with enough fizz to be satisfying. Nice complexity but age becoming obvious. Need to drink up.

  Fine, but not as good to me as any Schramsberg at 1/3 of this bottle's price.
  
  Drink now.

  Perfect cork, super-compressed.
  Look: Lt amber color; very few but super tiny bubbles (Don sized) that upon warming sent nice trending bubble lines from the center.
  Nose: Lovely floral, honeysuckle, citrus, pear, slight apple.
  Body: 1% milk mouthweight
  Taste: Bright fruit, honeysuckle, citrus, pear, slight caramel. Very "feminine", as anticipated.
  Finish: 30-45 seconds.
  Summary: A lovely delicate wine with nice aromatics, fading effervesence, but refreshing light fruit and nice finish.
  Probably a good idea to drink up now or within 1-2 yrs (unless one prefers more amber and toffee and about zero bubbling I suspect).
