Really quite oaky, both in terms of aroma and mouthfeel, but also lithe and delicate. Honey, vanilla and green fruit aromas, and some hints of smoke and musk revealed with air. Then an interesting flavour profile whereby the sweet honeyed character and the bitter green side - like crunching raw sugarsnap peas - neither clash nor mesh, but are distinct yet weave in and out of each other; it's really impressively bitter for a relatively sweet wine! Some really ripe orange juice flavour, too, and then a gorgeous, long, creamy finish. Impressive stuff.

Seemed a lot younger than a bottle in 2021, with the extremely primary fruit to the fore. Silky body, lots of dark plummy fruit, some coffee and concentrated cassis. It's a lovely wine but seemed a bit too 'in your face' today.

Disgorged July 2021. Gorgeous wine: not many bubbles, but lots of everything else, including acidity, richness and thick, oily, extracty mouthfeel. Chewy and mouthwatering, yet remaining balanced and drinkable.
