Something for the Jasper Hill Farms, “Willoughby.”
I am not much for Brut these days. Prefer Extra Brut. But I had this 375ml left before I shifted gear’s.
Having said that, this is still very sound and consistent. Think I enjoyed it more once upon a time. It seems sweeter now having a steady stream of EB.
Nice mousse. Lemon, lime pulp w/ a bit flesh, Bosc pear, red apple, yellow stone fruits, tropical fruits, quince, ginger, whipped creams, graham cracker, nougat, light & soft volcanic minerals, nice chalk powder, sea fossils, gentle saline, yellow flowers & lilies with hints of jasmine, pleasant, lively acidity, good balance, structure-tension & a smartly polished elegant finish that lasts 90 seconds and long sets on white spice-ginger.
Excellent pair w/ Key Lime Tart.

Deep pink color. Aromas of pomegranate, lychee and grapefruit. Red fruits on the palate, tropical fruits, grapefruit and floral finish. Superb!
