corked! bummer. not so severe that I couldn't tell that this would have been a nice wine, but enough that it wasn't all that enjoyable.

Great ca bubbles! Love em, wish the acidwas a touch higher, but automatically intense and fascinating. The best attempt at CA 'champagne' I've had

Wow! Hazelnut, toast and lemon peel on the nose. Fully developed with small, fine bubbles. Amazing sparkling with a long finish.
