This wine is just getting better with age, and that`s a good thing for those who were wise enough to have bought a few bottles and have let them rest awhile. I opened this for a friend`s birthday and used some new Champagne glasses I got as a wedding present (it`s great when people know just what to get you). The bubbles were persistent and playful - the aromas were biscuity, yeasty, bready and and slightly butterscotched.
