This is a fantastic wine beginning with plush pale golden hues and lemon highlights, leading to a bouquet of white-fleshed orchard fruits and citrus, swathed in a fresh butter brioche autolysis from extended fine lees complexities. Apple blossoms, nut, and honey highlights complete the bouquet. A complex wine touches the palate with a softly textured voluminous mousse and superfine bubble. Nicely weighted with a rounded satin-cream texture, core flavours of oatmeal, citrus, white-fleshed orchard fruits with layers of autolysis and acidity. A delicious wine with a dry, lengthy finish offering perfect drinking today and through the next eight to twelve years.
