Poured a medium dark gold with very fine bubbles. Clean and pleasant nose of toasted nuts, brioche, apples, and sea mist. Medium bodied, crisp, and showing a hint of maturity. Palate of green apples, lemons, strawberries, caramel, toasted almonds, a bit of marzipan, and just a mild hint of yeast. Moderate length finish of bright lemon, a bit of green apple, candied strawberry, almonds, a small amount of hazelnut, and a hint of yeast.
Feels like it can age for longer, but this is drinking in a great place today.

Drank from my cellar many moons ago. Here's a review from WE - "Exuberant in mousse, this wine is luxurious and rich, the perfect quaff for any occasion. Made from 75% Pinot Noir and 25% Chardonnay, and aged for three years, it's bright in bolts of green apple and strawberry.

Served with oysters and shrimp cocktail. Still lovely and lively with just a hint of maturity as previous rater noted. Tight bubbles. All enjoyed.

Lovely wine. More sweetness than I remember in other IH wines, but round and rich and delicious. Cheers!

Very nice wine. Handling a touch of age really well.
