December 21, 2020 - This has aged very well. The nose had toasted almonds with slightly yeasty but nice balance of lemon citrus and apple. The bubbles were lively, but not sharp very smooth and delicious. Wish I held the others.

Expected more, it has a big 'Rep.' Was surprised it was this wine when it was eventually revealed.
Nose....weirdly mute.
Taste.....nice easy-drinking style, starts off 'simple' but grew on me. Liked it. A lovely essence at the end. Ready. -

April 9, 2017 - Chardonnay dominant (87%) and it shows on the palate - all citrus pith and juice, some green apple too. There are also some pastry/lees characters adding some interest, but the finish shows a little uneven acidity and the whole package seems a little simple.
