  I had the 2013 Tillington when it was very young in 2018 and a pretty disappointing experience it was (see note). There's an interesting back story here of the 'accidental' discovery in 2009 winemaking team of Cherie Spriggs (Head Winemaker) and her husband Brad Greatrix discovered was a parcel of Pinot Noir they was particularly exciting and expressive. This is infact 79% Pinot from that plot and 22% Chardonnay. Better than the 2013 certainly with more bottle age and has scarcity value and attendant cost. Still young, but this is not a style that works for me and at £100 per bottle there are far better sparkling wines at the price - including Nyetimber's ever consistent Blanc de Blancs at half the cost.

  Colour: Golden green
  
  Nose: Nice complexity and depth, good aging notes, slightly exotic and aromatic.
  
  Palate: Gargantuan and rich finish with mind-blowing concentration, superb substance, and fantastic length!
  
  This ESW, from this outstanding vintage, can rival the best champagnes any day! Buy as many as you can get your hands on, and leave them for a couple of years, as there is so much to work with here. Out of body experience!

  Powerful brioche nose. Yeasty golden fruit. Not especially effervescent. Much more fruit forward and rich than my experience with austere english sparklers. Very nice. 93+
