Reviews:

James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com - 96 Pts

This has a great balance between oxidation and freshness, with all the complexity of fine champagne. The tightly wound, nervy palate has a generous underlying power, showing notes of lemon confit, ocean spray, ginger, flint, oyster shells and soft pastry. 2016 base, disgorged August 2024 after 60 months on the lees. Drink or hold.

Dave Brookes, Halliday Wine Companion - 96 Pts

Multi-vintage, 100% chardonnay, 60 months on lees. Light straw with an ultrafine, energetic bead and mousse. Baked apple and citrus fruit with hints of sea spray, shortbread, shiitake broth, freshly baked pastries, crushed stone, pressed white flowers, clotted cream and ozone. Rich and mouth-filling on the palate with a swell of spiced apple and fresh brioche stretched on a frame of vivid, minerally acidity. Trails off long, pure, dry and creamy.

Stuart Knox, The Real Review - 95 Pts

Medium straw-yellow hue. White peach, brioche and yeast extract aromas. Palate has wonderful complexity and integration. Peach, apple, and lemon curd are seamlessly melded with sweet puff pastry, oyster brine and nougat complexities to build character. An ultra fine and stylish mousse interplays with bright acidity in harmony and balance, ensuring no edges are seen as it runs very long to a finish that is both crisp and savoury.

Aaron Brasher, The Real Review - 95 Pts

Mid-straw in colour and displaying an impressive bead and mousse. Complex and lifted aromas of sweet pastry, white stone fruit, baked apple, citrus curd and grilled nuts. Complex and expansive in flavour, with plenty of aged, autolysis action on the go. Creamy, long, layered and sophisticated fizz.
