January 22, 2024 - On pouring the bouquet simply exploded from the glass. Savoury on entry this had minerally pink grapefruit mixed in with some pear. It was crisp and fresh developing butter and a silky texture that morphed into a smooth milk chocolate finish. Elegant and refined, it was utterly superb. CHP 92 pts

December 31, 2023 - The nose is fresh and lively with strawberries, peaches, berries, orange peels, nectarines, nougat, roses, mineral notes, and spring florals. The Medium bodied feel shows off the freshness of the nose along with racy, high acidity. The acidity is a bit sharp while showing off a real mouthwatering quality. This is a great and affordable Rose bubbles from one of the classic British producers.

September 3, 2023 - Savoury & minerally this had strong red fruit characters such as strawberry, cherry and raspberry. On the mid-palate this developed a classy silky texture with a little milk chocolate on a long finish. Refreshing with a super bite a very assured sparkling rosé. CHP 92 pts

July 15, 2023 - 7 months after my last note and 2 points less - this I think is going into a somewhat closed period. I'd now wait a couple of years to let it open up.

May 17, 2023 - Lay & Wheeler Summer tasting: Strawberries and cream, blossom. A pleasant nose but rather more austere on the palate. A candidate for a bit of age I think.
