This is too young. Gave it lots of time to open, but the pieces never fully came together. Good source material and winemaking, just needs time to become more focused.

Powerful and mouth filling. W/ a Fresh, lifted finish. Shoulder to shoulder with any domestic sparkling imo

Bruised apple, nuttiness, lightning acidity. Would love to revisit in a few years

A bit more oxidized with softer carbonation and less leesy character than true champs but charming overall

Everything I want in sparkling wine: light, crisp, tart and enough staying power to be drinkable to following afternoon as well.
