26 year old Santa Cruz Blanc de Blanc.17 years Triage according to label. Some sediment noticeable.

Dark gold color, surprisingly still has some bubbles. Cork broke during opening, corkscrew to the rescue. Notes are toasty, yeasty, and a bit funky in the finish (not horrible, ?rubber-ish, hard to describe, food would hide).

Good for curious geeking, not luxury seeking.

Showing some age with baked apple notes. A little tar on the nose. Its pronounced acidity keeps it fresh. From Trout Gulch.
