Bubbles were a little heavy for my taste and masked the flavors. Yeast, lemon, and light spice on the palate. Very enjoyable aftertaste however. Pales in comparison to the 2001 J Vineyards late disgorged.

Incredible wine. Pale yellow straw color. Nose of bread yeast, green apple, ripe pear. Gorgeous bubbles dissolve and dance on tongue, rich texture, with apple and hints of spice and caramel. Wonderful, balanced, lingering finish. This wine dances on your tonque front, mid palate and finish. Enjoy.

I opened up my last bottle of 1999 last night. We enjoyed it with smoked salmon on rye bread. It was great.
