2013 Nyetimber 1086 Rosé
5/6/2024 - finewinebuff57 wrote: 91 Points
This for me is certainly better than the 2010 (no note) which was well beaten by the 2018 Rathfinny Rose at a tasting in late 22 (see note). And also a stronger showing than the 2010 white 1086. At £175 or so this is seriously priced. Time will tell if its worth it. Not yet I'd say.

2013 Nyetimber 1086

51% Chardonnay, 40% Pinot Noir, 9% Pinot Meunier. Serious and ambitiously priced of course. At or above the 2010 which is still widely available. 2013 a very even year in terms of weather and a late harvest. This likely to be long lived and is clearly very young. The NV, Blanc de Blancs and Cuvee Cherie are all exemplary and punch at or above their weight with champagne or other great sparkling wines of the world in similar price brackets. For me, alas this doesn't.

2010 Nyetimber Classic Cuvée
5/6/2024 - finewinebuff57 wrote: 88 Points
From a magnum at a Nyetimber tasting. Directly following the new releases of the 1086 by Nyttimber both white and rose (see notes), so rather in their shadow in terms of refinement (though at around 25% of the cost). The last vintage classic cuvee before becoming NV only. Last tasted in July 2016 from bottle and as then I don't think this is the best vintage of the Classic Cuvee. 88 as before.
