  This is definitely mature - starting to have some oxidation notes and loss of mousse. Enjoyable and struts its pinot noir backbone with solid mouthfeel. I would definitely drink now since its not going anywhere.

  Best American sparkling wine I’ve ever had. Brut, delicious, tart apple, brioche, minerals. Stuff is nowhere near end of life. Have one more bottle.

  That's my 5th/6 bottle and it completely changed over the past years. It lost part its bubbles and starts to oxydized but not on the negative way. It developed a real vinous character (making more appropriate with richer food) with some cooked stone fruits. It still like the minerallity/salty elements of the wines. However I will finish my last bottle soon as it is in a good spot now if you enjoy aged sparkling but I think it starts to lose freshness and doesn't have the acidity backbone to age much longer.

  Sadly past its prime. Popped and poured. Showing full development on the nose, with slight hints of oxidation. Palate is rich and concentrated, but the acidity is dying down, so there is nothing to back it up unfortunately. Drink up if you have this in the cellar.

  Lively bubbles but became increasingly oxidized over an hour. Still nice flavor but in need of food at that point.
