I was planning to save this bottle for a tasting, but then thought - screw it. I wanted to drink at least half of it on my own. And what better occasion than a quiet Greek-style evening with a friend? Once again, this wine proves it's made for slow drinking. It unfolds so gracefully. Still very young, and it's more about the wine than the bubbles. Honey, propolis, tropical fruit, sake, citrus, smoke, cheese rind, flowers. But the real charm is how effortlessly drinkable it is - great structure, lovely intensity, flavours that stretch and morph. Fresh, crisp, with a long, elegant finish. It was such a joy to drink it slowly.
Also on the delicate side, but with more of that yeasty character - like a cheese sandwich in a good way. There's florality, a cidery tang, a bit of smoke too. But what makes it shine is how drinkable it is - great structure, lovely intensity, flavours that stretch and shift. Fresh, crisp, and with a long, elegant finish. This one really hits the mark.
