-- popped and poured -- -- tasted non-blind over a couple hours --
NOSE: expressive; pear and apple fruits; oak; prawn; moderately complex.
BODY: quite lively; green-yellow Sauv. Blanc-esque color of medium-light depth; medium bodied.
TASTE: foamy mouthfeel, but rather heavy/intense fruit; high acidity; a bit rough (disjointed, but quiet tasty and attention-getting); nice mineral/yeasty combo; white peach pits; 12.5% alc. is a little noticeable in the belly. Fantastic value.
B: 50, 5, 12, 15, 6 = 88

Light gold in the glass. Strong notes of pear coming through on the nose, as well as some tart green apple, orange peel, and toast. Palette is dominated by apple-pear, with some lemon and a hint of pineapple on the finish. Light mousse. Medium-long finish, good acidity. Nice for the price

Dry, bread, old apples. Really taste of a champagne.
