Again slightly deeper colour . Quite rich and ripe on the nose with brioche , baked apple , lemon peel , touch of honeysuckle. On the palate more baked apple , lemon peel , ginger . Quite rich and decadent almost , but balanced acidity , creamy texture . Buttered pastry and lemon tart . Good ginger tinged finish . This will need more time than the Leon , quite dense and rich . Better in 5-8 years and will last well a further 10 — a month ago
Drank on Christmas 2024 while opening presents. For CPG, this wine was very fine bubbles, beautifully smooth and elegant. Crisp apples and honey. — 6 days ago
