Stunning. Rich mid palate and dry finish with wonderful depth of flavour and texture and still seriously refreshing. (JR)

Magnum. Disgorged in March 2012. Dosage 6 g/l. Tasted blind. Pale orange. A bit like a liqueur with some gherkin notes. A tad sour rather than complete. (JR)
Fully mature but still lively and refreshing. Rewarding complexity – savoury and dense. (JR)
Disgorged October 2010. Tasted blind. Something a bit rubbery on the nose but very tense and exciting. Is this the 2008? Tense and vibrant, with lots of complexity and persistence. Impressive for its age. (JR)
