Dark red cherry colour. On the nose cedar, leather and spice (Shane said smells of Christmas presents and cookies). Smooth, beautifully integrated tannins. Hints of black currant, blackberries and a little cherry. Elegant, refined. 20 second finish.

First bottle to kick off friend Geoff Pigman's birthday celebrations. Light straw color. Bubbles galore. Nose of yeast with a sweet apple note. Apples in the mouth, with a touch of bitterness. The bubbles were velvety, and coated the palate nicely. My first grower champagne and it makes me want to dive in for more.

Won at Ulysses. Cherry fruit forward, pleasant, would buy.
