Michael Edwards: Very full: a powerful wine. 17.5
Andrew Jefford: Full gold; evanescent mousse. Gentle, honeyed, and full; very calm and settled, but attractive, too. Hints (all hints) of hazelnut shortbread, honeysuckle, fresh peaches, fresh nectarines. Light, long, sweet-finishing, but before the dosage closes in there is lots of creamy, graceful yellow summer-fruit richness. Powdered stone to finish, lending a little sobriety. A well-aged blanc de blancs of almost perfect proportions, leaving the mouth fresh, clean, and hoping for more. It would be lovely to see an alternative with a little less liqueur. 18.5
Tom Stevenson: An amazing, mouth-filling experience, incredibly mellowed by the yeast-complexing process. Long, fine. 18.5
