Pop and pour. Much better than my last btl, but still awful qpr. On the nose: wood smoke, lemon oil, grilled nuts, soft oxidative notes. On the palate: good acidity and density. Soft mousse (which was rather coarse at first)...the dosage is still a bit high relative to the acidity for my palate.
Correction: I was informed this has 1 g/L dosage, so maybe just very ripe fruit? In any case, comes off as too sweet relative to acidity.

Very subtle bubbles in a mineral, flowery blanc de blancs with a great freshness and a lot of potential. This is a great sparkling in the making. Drink now to have an idea but give it 5 years at least to get more complexity out of this. Rhys is on a roll with great Pinot, Chard and Shiraz, plus now this outstanding sparkling. Enthusiastically recommended !!!
