2006 the vintage that came in just good.

This has a very creamy mousse. Macerated Meyer lemons, overripe pineapple juice, very ripe yellow stone fruit, tropical melon, orange citrus blend, strawberries, cream, vanilla, unstated herbal quality, chalk powder, sea spray, bread dough, yellow lilies, jasmine, soft acidity, nice balance with an elegant rich finish that lasts a minute and lands on chalkiness with limestone.

Last Bottle experiment I would not buy again at the price point. There are better examples for the same or less money.

Green Apple, biscuits, toasted almond, zippy acid but still rich with lovely bubbles. A toast to my son after his Baptism!

Lemony, mineral goodness with clear age with acidity and freshness to balance. Pear and floral to accompany the citrus. Perhaps missing some depth. Easy to quaff!
