  Stone fruit, ripe apple, citrus, orange, light honey, marzipan, toffee (Werthers Echte), brioche, and smoke, with creamy mousse, good acidity, and good to very good length. Nice, creamy texture. Well-balanced. Yes, it is not the most complex champagne, and the residual sugar makes it flabby, and yet that toffee creaminess is quite intriguing. Significantly benefits from using big glasses, in this case a Zalto Denkart Burgundy glass, and from serving it at 10 to 12 degrees. Better than its reputation.

  Jag har väldigt få referenser när det gäller söt champagne. Och dessutom intas denna till en pavlovatårta med extrem sötma, så vinet smakar i stort sett som en torr champagne... Men jag uppskattar den, och det är en helt okej pairing. Men samtidigt saknar jag komplexitet och därmed är det svårt att hitta den optimala användningen. Dricker alla dagar i veckan hellre ett botrytisvin till min dessert eller mögelost. Möjligen till anklever?

  A friend picked up the wrong bottle. We were five but we could not finish this.

  As I hardly ever drink sweet champagne I find it hard to evaluate this. Nose is quite shy and mostly gives sweet citrus, orange and very ripe pears. On the palate sweet obviously. Not much fruit, just light citrus and elderblossom. Medium acidity, would have benefited from some more. Gers a bit cloying. Delicate mousse. Medium lenght.

  Certainly a bit sweet but not overwhelming. Fairly balance and even though it is sweet it was not extreme in any way.
  A decent wine but it did not impress me in any way.
