EA | Medium-deep lemon gold colour. Overt, sweetly fruity apple compoter and baked pear nose with orange blossom and hay. There is lots packed to the nose. Deliciously juicy, airy and energetic palate of excellent fruit purity. Bold and pronounced, with no shying away. Upfront, brisk and joyously succulent, an apty sweet dosed wine of deliciousness.Drink Dates: 2024 - 2031. 93
SF | Modest straw, not showing its age; the bead is persistent however. A nose of white chocolate and bruised apple; more evolved than the colour would suggest; something leafy rather than savoury, lean rather than complex; umami and jambon cru, little autolytic complexity or white grape charm. 88
AR | Pale gold in colour, this Brut is showing quite a lot of baked apple fruit, American pie style in the aromas, and the farm butter and baked apple characters are carried through to the palate by a lively buoyant mousse, whose underlying, tangy, crisp acidity brings plenty of energy and good potential for ageing in the bottle under good cellaring conditions.Drink Dates: 2024 - 2030. 92
