Citrus and early season orchard fruit and acid. Lemonade, greengage plum, just ripe apricot and limestone minerality. I think this needs time - dosage sticks out a bit.

Tight and shiny at the front with a Granny Smith like acidity. On the palate poised and refreshing with more apples, faint lemon and stark minerality. Intense, refreshing and pleasantly steely for an 09. A long life ahead.

Really impressive bubbles! Light canary in the glass...precise, elegant, balanced and creamy. Absolutely round with no rough edges. Absolute joy to drink!

young but incredibly intense with ripe fruit carried by ample acidity. A few years in the cellar will add some creaminess but no sin to open now.

Watermelon, fresh cherries, crisp, clean. Needs time.
