12% Very sparkling, clear, crystal clear, pale to medium straw with greenish tinges. Very attractive, full nose, though a bit lacking in varietal character. Remarkably fresh and green on the nose. A stunning attack - really fruity, and showing lovely varietal character - and then it fills enormously and very quickly. Very rounded on the palate, with a hint of peppery spice on the finish. Finishes with a bit of acidic harshness, which just unbalances it a bit. Perhaps it still needs time. Good/Very Good.
