Aromas of strawberry cream savers hard candies, freeze dried raspberries, candied orange, butterscotch, and whipped cream.
The palate is rich and creamy. Much of the effervescent has calmed down leaving a super lovely mouthfeel. Acid is medium - medium plus. Finish is long. Super solid wine but not exceptionally complex. Very tasty though and well balanced.

Deep salmon. Dried and stewed fruits and yeast notes with noticeable oxidation on the nose.
Muted dried fruits and brioche struggle to solidify. Little in the way of structure or complexity, medium acidity and a medium finish. Bubbles are fine and the best part of the bottle. Is this just over the hill? My experience with the 2008 is vastly better.

With more time and aeration a bit of vanilla and strawberries, quite creamy, beautiful orange red color. Pretty sweet originally but with this bottle age its kind of not bad.
Absolutely underwhelming acidity for a 2004 though and totally fails to balance the sweetness here.
On the second day, a bit cherries and tannins coming through with a little bit mild bitterness on the finish.
It drinks easy and fun but is also boring and quickly forgotten.
The price performance ratio is pretty bad in my opinion. If you give it to me for free, I will drink it but I would not spend money on it again.

Starting to look like an orange wine.

Easily the best sparkler today. Pink with tiny bubbles. Nuanced red fruit strawberry raspberry on the palate. Wish I had a couple more of these

OK is a kind description. This was just a bottle of average pink champagne and should have been so much better.

Upon opening pretty dull bouquet and taste.
