Taste: 6 (of 10)

Note: The crisp, sweet fruitiness of peaches, pears and apples along with almonds at the beginning gives way to a shocking bitter aftertaste. The mild but persistent bubbles are good but the taste is all wrong. All the other fine points get lost behind the disappointing aftertaste. I has ten people at the table and none of them gave this Champagne a second chance. The verdict was a unanimous thumbs down!

Total: 13.5 (of 20)

Food: We tried this with a fruit salad made from whatever we found in the fridge, including cantaloupe, peaches, plums and mango. The fruit salad was fine but the Champagne was a terrible disappointment. This is one Champagne you should cross off your list. Your guests deserve better than this and so did mine!
