I bought this for NYE! It's great! I can say eventhough it's considered dry, it is still pretty sweet! You can taste the lemon for sure! I'm not sure on the pear? But, I detect a hint of nectarines or peaches and maybe berry and white grape, as well. It's inexpensive at about $6/bottle. Nice bubbly to celebrate with. But, not as bubbly as I thought it would be. Hince, not a perfect score! But, I would recommend! Happy New Year!
