This was good but I do not think worth the price premium vs a good non-Champagne sparkling wine. Crunchy apples and brioche on the nose. Fruity, yeast, lemons on the palate. Acidity could be more in balance. Enjoyable to drink.

2 hour decant. Very dark, deep red to look at. Ripe raspberries and chocolate on the nose. Cherries, oak, cream on the palate; well balanced between fruity and dry. Somehow both thick and smooth. Long long finish. Very classy wine indeed.
