Sadly, this vintage appears unworthy of aging. Like others mentioned it's flat after the initial pour. Has taken on oxidized color and notes. Yellow apple attack and lime flavors at the finish. Medium plus weight. I'd say drink up but not sure it's worth it.

Clear, light golden yellow. Nose of yeasty bread dough, citrus, green apples, apricots, wet stones and mineral. Medium body, with a crisp, yet creamy palate of green apples, citrus & bread dough. Very good

Started out with very fine bead, and very focused green apple nose. Initially was taught, with rather unpleasant finish. With time, became doughy and ponderous with sweet finish. Wouldn't buy again.

Not sure about the condition that this bottle was stored in, but just felt flat. Both in terms of the bubbles and the flavor.

My first Cali Blanc de Blancs. Ok, yeasty profile, light but nothing special.
