Lovely, food friendly drink. A slight bit of oxidation, but it lent a slightly burnt sugar taste. Bubbles were medium fine. The finest Franciacorta that I have tasted in my limited experience.

Maybe I need a palate reset, due to usually drinking trocken rieslings. This wine seemed unctuous and with great length. Definitely seemed sweeter than I expected for kabinett level wine. As it warmed in the glass, it seemed to regain a better balance. The acidity, minerality and more grapefruit notes arrived.
