Beautifully mature nose. Almonds, apricot, bready, light brown apple. The palate didnt live up to the nose, mostly mature flavors with apple, apricot, but had some bitterness, but I feel its a bit hollow and had a weird metallic note. Seemed a touch hollow. Good, not great.

Find this to be a nice structured, sparkling wine that appeals to those who enjoy a touch of sweetness in a brut. Still drinking well. Enjoyed on Thanksgiving here in Omaha. Wish I would have bought more when it was $20 per bottle on Wine.com.
I will buy this or the 06' to have on hand.

A Weeknight at JulieD's (San Diego): Clear light straw color with steady fine bead. Delicious yeasty sourdough, with pear, lemon, Fuji apple. Generous, elegant, fresh and crisp. Outstanding.

The wine reflects pear, nuts, and lots of yeast with very balanced acids on the finish. Drinking very well at Thanksgiving 2021.

Notes of toast and nuts on the palate. The wine is refined on the palate. Very good.

Soft and easy to drink. Mild toast, moderate white fruit with a soft and smooth finish.

Pale. Slow bubbles. Crisp and clean and enjoyable. A bit of yeastyness and good minerality.
