Blind tasting. Didn't guess it, which annoyed me because I'd been specifically wanting to try this. Very cool wine. Brioche, yellow fruit, citrus, some light red berries - classic sparkling territory. I thought it was Champagne at first, the aromatics were spot-on, but the finish is a bit smudged, a little less precise than I would love it to be. That's what threw me off. I started second-guessing myself into absurd territories. Still, it's fun and tasty. German Sekt at this level deserves more attention than it gets.
