Tasting Notes(4)
3.8
It's not bad. Aye, it's straightforward, single-layered and ridiculously overpriced. There are plenty of sparkling wines delivering the same quality and pleasure for a much better price.
Anyways. Some pears on the yeasty canvas with notes of white flowers and lemon curd. Quite fresh, round and buttery. The aftertaste is empty. Yes, there is acidity and sweetness, but all the flavours fade quickly.
After reading my own notes, I am puzzled by such a high score.
