High intensity bubbles, alive but rounded. Slight notes of red currant, cranberry, and honeysuckle held with beautiful minerals.

Wow. Simply excellent. Structured elegantly from start to finish with notes of cinnamon, leather saddle, stretched out cherries. A true joy to be around. Required a good decant and filter as it threw a lot of muddy sediment.

Beautiful and balanced. Lean on cherry, rhubarb and held with fennel, tobacco traces. Supportive tannins, good mouthfeel though a little stretched thin. Definitely drink now it won't last.

Nose is a little funky. But still great, tight bubbles and mouthful with hints of apricot and peach.

Delighted! Notes of currant, plum dark cassis. Restraint by good tannin structures

Silly and chalky textures cloud the fruit effort. A little unbalanced. Note: not flawed or skunked. Made this way.

Wanted to see this succeed. Unfortunately this was a big mess. More process then fruit and what fruit there was there was left entirely unsupported by any type of brioche or yeast, toast, or wonderful warm notes that it's region across La Manche enjoys

Outstanding. Marriage of flavors rooted in cassis berries, saddle/tobacco, hints of cardamom. Mid palette bridge a smooth walk to the finish: as in, Yes, I’ll finish that.
