Absolutely excellent value 7 years on. I can only attribute any of the below par scores above to the 3 extra years this bubbly now has under its belt. Autolytic, toasty, mushroomy. Golden delicious apples, pineapples, green grapes. Semi-fine mousse. Could easily pass for entry level Champagne. Highly recommended for the price.
