Medium-deep gold with very minuscule fine bubbles giving it just a little bit of life left. Caramel apple, honey roasted almond nose. Candied orange peel, Meyer lemon tart, honey marshmallow. The sweet nose is a little deceiving as the palate is still dry but with a little sweet and richness coming from the age. Opened for a ‘86 birthday...a bit hard to drink as a “cheers” but certainly worth saving the rest to go with cake or desert.

Winorama: A winter in Wineland III; 1/4/2019-1/13/2019 (Portland/Willamette, Eureka, Napa): This is a wine for ppl who like old champagne (we are in that crowd). It's already a bit oxidized. Lots of caramel notes. A bit of that almost buttered toast. Really tasty in that way. I very much enjoyed it.
