Review and Tasting

Sampled on 28/05/2012

Appearance:

Clear, salmon pink with small persistent bubbles.

Aroma:

Red forest fruit with tinned strawberries and strawberry pavlova.

Taste:

Off dry, raspberry, strawberry, black cherry and blackcurrant with balancing citrus acidity and buttery biscuity base.

Aftertaste:

Strawberries and raspberries with lingering tart black berries and unsalted butter. One for those who like their champagne on the fruity side.
