"Dusty dried flowers, raw almonds, crusty bread and white smoke from an enticing bouquet as the 2013 Metodo Classico Special Cuvée Pas Dosé slowly awakens in the glass. This washes across the palate with ease, seamlessly silky and serene. Sour citrus adds tension as ripe pit fruits and honeyed inner florals resonate throughout. The 2013 finishes with dramatic length yet wonderfully long and potent, leaving dried apricot hints and a salty tinge that calls the taster back to the glass. Simply spellbinding. This is a blend of 95% Pinot Noir and 5% Chardonnay."

"Notes of dried apples, citrus rind, honeysuckle and toasted almonds. Medium- to full-bodied with vivid acidity and a savory fruit character. Fine mousse and round texture. Flavorful and satisfying with a mineral finish. Drink now."
