Estimate
...honeyed overtone to this lacy Champagne, and along with notes of raw almond, dried white cherry and Meyer lemon peel...good richness to balance the chiseled acidic frame. Creamy finish, with a lingering chime of salinity.
...plenty of blue fruits and violets on the nose...good punch on the palate but it remains really smooth and creamy. The tannins are most definitely a feature and they hold assertive blueberry and pastry flavors, cassis, nectarines and even plums to close.
...boisterous mousse leads to a bone-dry palate, with a crisp green-apple flavor...
...delivers a fine aromatic blend of apple, tangerine, gentle smokiness, a lovely base of flinty soil tones, warm biscuits and a touch of orange zest in the upper register. On the palate the wine is full-bodied, crisp and very well-balanced, with a fine core, frothy mousse, fine focus and a long, vibrant and complex finish.
...smoky... Beautifully creamy on the palate, very smooth...citrus...very crisp, greaty purity and a more salty aftertaste...yeasty and complex...
