Ripping acidity but enough body to keep it from becoming one-dimensional. Subdued but fun aromatics that are more mineral than fruit. — 19 days ago

Third time having this vintage, great every time, but I think this the end of its lifespan. Fresh apple has turned to baked apple, it’s always had some brioche and toasty notes, fabulous mousse and fine bubbles. Today a touch bitter to start (a bit unusual for this wine) but character went away. — 3 months ago

Ripe. Rich aromatics for the varietal, some weight behind the sugar. Could use some acid. Worked great with Orange Chicken. — 4 months ago

I’m just matching the other ratings so the winery doesn’t suffer because I opened this too late. Fat, ripping acidity on the palate but aromatics are reduced to caramel. Freshness is gone. — 3 months ago
