14.5/20 (83/100) Разочарован, насколько сдало вино за два года, проведённых в бутылке. Вынужден констатировать, пить его уже поздно.

A superb 🇬🇧 sparkler that everybody thought was a good champagne blind 👍 At £38 it’s not cheap but it’s one of the best I’ve had from U.K. - thanks for the recommendation @hawkinsbros summer fruits in a glass 😎

I don't much like bubbles, but this wasn't bad.

(17/20) Вино с красивым и элегантным ароматом малины, земляники, красных яблок, цветов и бриоши. Свежее во вкусе - мёд и красные яблоки. Отлично!
