Just a note in case anyone's interested in Sparklings.
On the weekend, I drank a bottle of the Bisou Bisou that came in the sparkling mixed case from earlier this year. It confirmed my suspicions that last year's vintage is flawed. I've had a couple of them now, and there's a musty aftertaste, that while not quite bad enough to stop me from drinking it, it isn't a flavour I expect or want in a sparkling. I guess I should be thankful it's not excessively acidic, but I still will not be buying it again. Two years ago, we drank cartons of the stuff and served it at parties, but not anymore. I also sent back a case of the Nua prosecco for similar reasons late last year - it had a taint I could barely identify, but enough to make me unable to actually drink more than a glass of the stuff. I opened two bottles and sent the rest back.
The Santa and d'Sas Prosecco that came in that mixed case was brilliant though and I'm hoping it will come back to the 'Fo soon.
