Tasting notes
Disgorged in 2014. Dosage 5.5 g/l. Tasted blind. Evolved, pale tawny pink. Some floral, rose-petal notes on the nose. A little lacking zest though very flattering. A little astringent on the end after some pretty sweet notes. (JR)

Tasted blind. Pale Aperol colour. Pretty smart toasty nose. Lovely start with rose-petal aromas. A really complete wine that is surely a tip to champagne? Reminds me a bit of Dom Pérignon rosé. (JR)
Fashionable deep salmon pink and only a sluggish but persistent bead. Really very serious umami nose. Lip smacking! Excellent mouth presence and a dry, savoury finish. There is nothing namby pamby about this wine. Long finish, and masses of red fruit flavour on the way there. Excellent acidity. Good stuff! (JR)
