2012 vintage. Last tasted 12.27.24 (9.3). Similar notes. Decanted and tasted after 2.5 hours. Super complex with those dark fruits and herbaceous cameos/visits. Really smooth medium/medium heavy body. Not too shabby. 9.5.26. — 13 days ago

Noticeably deep colour , deeper than all the others , medium deep ruby quite thin ruby rim . Quite herbal and deep on the nose , with darker fruit profile . Blackberry , dark plum, dark cherry , earthy herbal touches. On the palate this is quite dense and rich with dark cherry , kirsch, blackberry , and a richer frame . Quite gritty but ripe tannins , with balanced acidity . Decent lightly chalky cherry , blackberry, herbal tinged finish . Very different from all others , darker and richer , riper . However , still well made , though not that charming or , dare I say it ‘Burgundian’ , probably as expected . I believe this also needs some time , come back in 5 years and drink over the next 10 or so. — 2 months ago

Brought back from a trip to Australia.  to create Étoile our wine makers delve into our remarkable library of Vintage brut, drawing together eight exceptional vintages, each layering a distinctive chapter to build depth, texture, aroma, and lingering flavors. We raise sparkling wine to new heights with a quintessential Australian exuberance that shows our love of place and possibility. Back Label. Nice work! — 8 months ago

This wine tastes like warm California sunshine. I’d say it’s at the end of its pleasurable drinking window. Good mix of secondary/tertiary character — 17 days ago
