Notes for the 2005, tasted 7/2015: 87% Chardonnay, 13% Pinot Noir, zero dosage. Despite having no added sugar, at this point in its development this Cap Classique shows rich bruised Red Delicious apple, strawberry croissant, cream and caramel, lashed together with a lime pith throughline and a long finish. Refreshing and crisp, with sufficiently high acidity, structure and fruit to carry it forward for a few more years. Fine mousse. Stunning achievement at its price point. I wish I'd bought three cases instead of just three bottles.
