Though this release may be a different lot than that reviewed below, with each bottling the producer aims for consistent quality and flavour profile. TASTING NOTE: Bone-dry and substantial, this serious, bargain-priced bubbly comes across with a big essence of bread dough, owing to extended time maturing on its spent yeast cells. Lemon, herbs and stone add complexity and electric acidity keeps things lively. It's almost in the league of Champagne. Score - 91 (Beppi Crosariol, The Globe and Mail, Jan. 14, 2013) |
