10/8/2016 - stevearley Likes this wine: NRDecanted some hours in advance. Very pronounced fizz that decreased a bit through the evening. Still present as slight spritz the following day. More developed flavour the following day too so really needs some time, maybe double decanting would help. |

5/25/2014 - stevearley Does not like this wine: NRA light fizz on the tongue. Tasted quite odd, not exactly off but was heading towards sour. Bit better after a day but not great. Could just be the style, of which I am not familiar. Not enjoyable to me though. |

12/24/2013 - stevearley Likes this wine: 90 pointsDespite having been in the rack for 10 years and being moved between houses and between warm rooms, this was lovely. Deep colour and soft fizz, lots of flavour. Cork was completely compressed. |
