An amazing nose of dark chocolate, baked apple and smoky honey along with great minerality. A lovely freshness in the mouth but with a depth of apple skin, shortbread, good vinosity

Fuck me I didn't know sparkling wine outside of Champagne could be so good. 2010 is amazing.

Touch of residual sugar with long-lived acidity. Bright minerality, baked apples, and the right amount of chalkiness.
