  90% Pinot noir, 10% Chardonnay Contains 50% reserve wine; Degorgement: 10/2022
  상당히 강렬한 검붉은 과실미. 아직은 steely한 피니쉬가 좀 더 시간이 필요한 것처럼 보인다. 에너지가 넘치는 스타일. 2-3시간에 걸쳐 마셨더니 후반부에 코어의 산미가 잘 어우러지는 느낌.

  NOSE: light and airy, with mint and apples; first pour took-on a slight autolytic note after 15 min. in the glass.
  
  BODY: light
  
  TASTE: dry and crisp; speaks strongly of its cepage. I like this style, and consider this a fantastic QPR at just under $50.

  A brief taste.
  Quite lean shy and reticent out of the gate.
  Citrus, green apple and wet rocks dominate the nose after popping the cork. Quite lean yet pure, focused on the palate.
  
  30 mins later in bordeaux glass gains significant weight, displaying more depth and richness on the palate, adding a touch of fresh pastry, roundness and generous mousse, while still showing restraint and focus.
  
  A very pure and elegant style of wine.
  Give it some time in the glass, let it warm up.
  Based on performance, it needs more bottle age.
  Open in advance.

  Light golden camphor colored. The nose has classic apples and fresh fruit. Some nuts, mulberry, brioche, yeast, and sweet pastries. The palate has the taste of fruit soda, malt, sweet fruit, and apple core. The wine is rich and full-bodied with good length.

  Missed the disgorgement date. Think it was 2022. Perpetual of 90% Pinot Noir and 10% Chardonnay. No dose. Racy. Apple, mulled strawberry and a good dose of wet rock with some lemony acid. I liked it but this needs to be without a chill to open it up. A transparent and clean style. Enjoyed it.
