Dusty and mushroomy, but also lively and lemony. The flavors are of clean earth and cultivated button mushrooms, chalk dust and citrus. It's a relatively light-bodied Champagne that would serve well as an aperitif.

Toasty and dry, with notes of lemon meringue. Lean, clean and tart, with some apple flavors and a bit of caramel to sweeten things up. Turns slightly mushroomy toward the end, where it begins to show some cracks in its veneer.

Dark copper in color, with a creamy nose that offers punch. As for flavor, it’s fairly tangy throughout, but not sharp. There’s a nice feel to the body and plenty of citrus flavor. Warm and cuddly it’s not.

Unique bubble gum, anise and butter scents on the nose, followed by a wine that tastes reminiscent of white gumdrops. Still, it's frothy, crisp and clean on the finish and while different, pretty good.

Candied aromas call to mind confectioners' sugar, tart strawberries and bubble gum. Light and frothy in the mouth, picking up chalky, orangey notes on the finish.

Cheesy aromas create a bouquet that lacks clarity. Quite sharp and citrusy in the mouth, with orange peel and an excessive tang. Satisfactory, but with serious holes in its fiber.
