Bottled 2012, disgorged 2017, but so youthful! Brought back from France, very vibrant, apple, lightly toasted almonds, chamomile flowers. Happy birthday to me! — a month ago

Fruit forward aromas of ripe blackberries, same on the palate with a medium oaky body and baking spice and peppery tannins. Very balanced and wanting red meat! — 3 years ago

Rich, ripe, red fruits and black fruits, creamy palate impression from I’d guess used oak, shows some age, good balance, long, lingering finish, very nice! — 8 months ago

Really great sparkler. Tons of acid and some tropical fruit, citrus, tart green apples really shine, but just enough body to give it some balance. This is clearly all about the acidity though. I could see how some would not enjoy that part of this wine. — 4 years ago

Excellent! Can't beat it for $12. Apple juice aromas. Apple, pear, citrus, and yeast on the palate. Off dry/semi-sweet style. A perfect NYE eve drink while preparing for tomorrow night. 60% bical, 35% arinto, and 25% maria-gomes. — 4 years ago
