June 13, 2021 - Isn't English sparkling wine improving! This one has 8 years in bottle now and has a delightful freshness and zingy energy that is quite invigorating. Lovely chalky minerality, vibrant aromas of apples and pears, a firm acidity and structure, a touch of brioche/biscuit, a nice, rounded polish to the whole experience... Lots to like. Missing for me is complexity, another layer of interest, and perhaps a less explosive mousse. This is a simple wine, but it's also a 2013, and English wine is evolving rapidly. My guess is that there is lots of future in this estate and the wines will be getting better and better.

July 5, 2018 - Apple, some underripe & stalky aromas, pear skin. Simple on the palate and a little tired.

December 2, 2017 - No formal notes - over dinner. Very fresh and bright with a nice mineral streak, but also tight. A little simple at this stage, decent length. Hold. 87-89?
