I love 08s. And am very excited to see them with some age. Can't wait. (Literally...)

Same spice as Krug, great sourdough yeasty quality, great acid balances some well-judged dosage. I was worried this would be too rich but it is still so light and refreahing. Tiniest hint of reduction in the background but nothing like some of the big houses and it only serves to focus the wine a bit. Probably a touch more acid and sugar than what I've had from Krug. This is the limit for my liking of dosage. 08 strikes again!

As good as bubbly gets at the under $100 price point. Compare to salon or crystal for much less. Find this stuff if you love great bubbly.
