Sunday, March 21, 2021 - -- May 2019 disgorgement --
-- 100% Pinot Noir --
NOSE: light/fresh; medium-light, fresh (not oxidized) apple.
BODY: very active bead; light-to-medium-light bodied.
TASTE: very austere; crisp, light cherry; better than last bottle in December, but I still have a clear preference for the Efflorescence.
