P: Sweet but no… upon entry, the impression is of something unctuous and sweet, for a bit of a second, then DRY. Yellow and gold flowers/melon,

Delicious traditional method sparkling with such toasty, almond brioche notes next to apple, pear, white blossom… just lovely.
Happy National Bubbly Day!

This is a great way to drink an older white. A little funky and oxidized, subdued, some apple juice notes. Great value, ~$40. — a month ago

This is Clos Pepe’s Dark Side bottling, which they only made a few times. What an excellent PN, loaded with dark cherries, other dark fruits and some cola. There was a little left in the decanter about an hour or so after dinner and the fruit was gone as well as the long sweet finish. I had opened and decanted it about an hour before dinner and maybe that was too much time but got through dinner fine. — 9 days ago
