Still very nice, but ready to drink. Lots of bubbles and very pleasant nose and palate.

This really was average (so it should have a score of 75-79, but with grade inflation these days...). I had purchased this from the winery a few years ago, so it was not a question of provenance.

Disappointing.

No formal notes, a little sweet compared to the DVX. Good.

Nice fuller-bodied bubbly from Cal. At club reorder price of about $20 per bottle, hard to beat.
