Almost three years have passed since the last tasting, and little has changed about this wine. Empty and indistinct. Notes of oven-dried cheese and apple seeds. Easy to drink (the main change in my perception) but impossible to remember.

@Wix Kyiv Office · Classy Bubbles: Taste the Yeast

Seriously, I did my best to enjoy this wine. And on the nose it's good, simple and fruit-forward but good. Apples, oak touch, candied pear. No signs of stated 36 months on lees, but ok. The real problem is the taste - apple seeds and nothing more. To the point that there is no pleasure in drinking it, so I could not finish even 5cl. So the score is mostly for nose.

Wine #4 on Classy Bubbles: Taste the Yeast event.
