The winery’s priciest bubbly is easily its best, finessing the roughness of the lesser blends with a smoothness that glides across the palate like silk. It displays peaches and cream Chard flavor, and a wonderful balance and dryness. Finishes with classic Champagne elegance. ——S.H.(12/31/2005)—— 94

Fresh, rich and toasty smooth, with complex vanilla, pear, apple, citrus and floral notes. Creamy on the finish. A fine example of what bottle age can do for bubbly. ——J.M.(12/1/2002)—— 91

It’s a significant commitment of time, money and resources to cellar a sparkling wine for this long, and Ferrer is to be commended for going the extra mile. The wine rewards the years of producer patience with a soft richness that is both lush and creamy. The once-fresh bready scents have evolved into a toasty, nutty smoothness, and the flavors coat the palate and mellow through an extended finish. ——P.G.(12/15/2000)—— 90

Lots of toasted baked bread and yeast on the nose, with raspberry and black cherry from 67% Pinot Noir. Overt fruit on the palate, too. Drinks lively and crisp, but a bit rough, and the finish is a little sweet and leesy-bitter. Frankly, lacks the quality and charm of the nonvintage offerings from this winery.——S.H.(12/15/1999)—— 88
