Top Notes For
Jay Kline

This is 4g/l so Extra Brut. Popped and poured, the wine pours a light straw color with a moderate mousse. Medium viscosity. On the nose, white peach, golden raspberry, lemon, candied almonds, brioche. One the palate, the wine is dry with medium++ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose with an added rhubarb note. The finish is super long with lemons and chalk for dayz. There is a balance of power and structure that is so 2008. Lovely now but has the legs to perform well for another 10+ years. Disgorged June of 2022.
