Deep golden yellow Heavy legs Nose is prominently secondary and tertiary fruit: toffee and burnt caramel apple, turning to bruised yellow apple, candied lemon, nougat, baked apple pie. Palate is medium plus acidity, very little sugar from dosage, and more one dimensional fruit of tertiary notes above Finish is moderate length, but the mid palate lacks body
Great buy from Costco. A study in aged champagne with tertiary notes. Showing just fine, I do wonder if slightly past prime, but still instructive. 92/100

Full bodied. Rich golden color. Pear, butterscotch, and quince flavors. Nice balanced of fruit to acidity. Shows its age in a good way, yet still very fresh.
