Purchased 2012 and cellared since. Root day - Pale gold in the glass. Virtually no mousse. Nose is baked pear, bread, sea air and mature apple. On the palate it SINGS! There is an exceptional mount of minuscule bubble that explode in your mouth carrying flavours of apple, pear, citrus, mineral and salinity. It’s stunning! The finish shows a soft chalkiness with citrus and mineral. Absolutely beautiful.

Root day - pours pale gold into the glass (purchased in 2012 and cellared since). Nose is nuts and citrus - lithe and complex. Tiny bubbles of medium streaming that are long lasting. In the mouth - delicious! Complex flavours of nuts, citrus, brioche and salinity. The finish is long lasting with the citrus and nuttiness continuing. 2nd glass showed a bit of caramel as the bottle warmed but there was still plenty of lively acidity and flavours of brioche, nuts and citrus - this bottle is stellar.

Baked apple, lemon curd, lees, and smoky mineral nose. Dry palate with good weight, balanced freshness and integral froth. Med-long finish.
4/5

Apple, yeast, dough and clay notes with a funky undertone that got worse as the wine sat.
