Its aroma is fresh and clean with hints of agave

Drink it before dinner to stimulate the appetite

Delicious with a square of dark chocolate (65% Caribbean cocoa from Valrhona

Lots of vivacity, with creamy and nutty layers, balanced by citrusy sharpness. I like the salty, tangy and milky contrast. 50% pinot noir and 50% chardonnay. Disgorged 2018 (22 years on the lees). Keeps on getting better. Drink now or hold." James Suckling
