Very enjoyable. Energetic mousse with high effervescence. Initially funky yeasty, with coaxing this gave way completely to strawberry and then prominent baked, red apple notes. Bracing acids and very nice minerality on the palate with more apple and biscuit. Glad I have a couple more. Fun wine.

Fantastic. Cellared since release and the last of the case. Lovely lemon chiffon, marzipan, lime flower. Bright and energetic on the palate with minerals and lemon zest. Still bright ebullience and lively mousse. In no hurry though it absolutely defines elegance. Ridiculously delicious.

Very bricked, maderiazed color. Cork was fine and oxidation is not the culprit here. This is the second bottle that has presented this way. I don't think it's flawed, I just think it is no good. Volatile, nutty, embers, slightly medicinal. Not enjoyable. Another drainpour for this wine.
