Review and Tasting

Sampled on 24/10/2015

Appearance

Clear, very pale golden with small persistent bubbles.

Aroma

Delicate yeasty biscuit with brioche, honeysuckle and lemon meringue zestyness.

Taste

Dry, sharp acidity – under ripe apples cooking apples with biscuit, crème brûlée, hints of toasted almond and faint honey.

Aftertaste

Acidity elegantly balanced by a slight honeyed sweetness in a long fresh finish.
