Medium lemon - straw colour. Intensely fragrant nose with aromas of jasmine,

cinnamon buttered toast, stewed apples and preserved ginger. Concentrated honey

- nut, warm apple tart and spice flavours fill the mouth giving ample flesh to

the firm, fine structure. The bubbles are still remarkably frisky and, in harmony

with the crisp backbone of acid, make for a relatively youthful, elegant and exquisitely

balanced wine. Very long finish. /RP /Mar 2009
