Amazingly, still good, but the end is near. Rose petal and copper in color, very distinctive, almost like a watery Madiera. Nose screams of kiwi, both skin and pulp. Also notes of pear and grapefruit. Taste is still lively, same flavors as smells. Finish has a very slight trace of oxidation, but otherwise final traces of yeast against tropical fruit still with enough, but declining, bubbles to support. Better with 30 minutes opening, held fine all night for a fantastic Thanskgiving 2016. Final days, drink by end of year.

nose - sweet, floral, cherry
mouth - clean, but simple, light red fruit, enjoyable, lacks complexity
