Estimate
This is a powerful and dense sparkling wine that is first and foremost a classic-quality wine... Full-bodied with lots of brioche, pie crust and bread dough. Great finish.
...wonderfully complex and layered, but also powerful in the way its toasted walnut, Bosc pear and fresh bread flavors start out strong in the aroma and keep pumping on the palate and through a lingering finish.
Classically styled and expressively vibrant, this bubbly opens to flavors of baked apple, roasted hazelnut, clove, nutmeg and other spices. The finish fans out, building a lingering richness.
...scented of baked apples, pastry and iodine. The palate offers ripe fruit and savory autolytic character, with softened acidity, creamy mousse and a citrusy finish.
Layered like filo-pastry dough, fresh lemons, water crackers, water chestnut, fennel, laser-like acid, delicate anise spice.
