  NOSE: strong apple tone; moderately stinky (reductive?) – call it pickled asparagus; not complex; weird – in a bad way.
  
  BODY: lots of bubbles; tan-maize color of medium-deep depth; medium bodied.
  
  TASTE: tasted a bit reduced; heavy for a sparkler – rich; golden delicious apple; good acidity; loose; lacking focus; not particularly lively; 12% alc. not noticeable; practically nothing on the rear palate; very short finish of medium-light intensity; decent, but it’s easy to find something better for less.
  
  B: 50, 5, 9, 11, 5 = 80
  A: gut impression score: 86 - 87
