Nose and taste of this 2008 was exactly like a 2013 we had a few weeks ago. Small intense creamy bubbles, citrus fruit driven and overall perfect, but rather unexceptional.

Delicious. Yeasty/bread dough, baked apple spice and bracing acidity. Wish I had some sushi or oysters.

One of the purest, cleanest sparklers I’ve had. Nice finish. There are better values out there though.

Analysis of death is not for the sake of becoming fearful but to appreciate this precious lifetime. - Dalai Lama

Tbh: I had always heard this was all about the lightness & finesse, but this right big. Pleasanter than hell.
