Toast & mixed nuts & sour citrus & herbs leap out of the glass. Well aged at 10 years.

The fruits are; lemon meringue, bruised red apple & Bosc pear, apple cider, ginger to ginger ale, muted lime pulp, overripe green melon, sour pineapple, griping limestone and chalkiness, sea fossils, saline. light, delicate white spice, dry herbs, caramel, cream brûlée, cream soda, hints of root beer float, pretzel, baguette crust, jasmine, green, yellow lilies, excellent acidity, well; structured, balanced, knitted finish that last minutes. Time in the bottle makes all the difference.

Happy Global Champagne Day!

Epic. Aged butter and slight oxidative nose just enough to enhance the aromas. Plenty of ripe stone fruits but completely perfectly balanced. Awesome.
