This straw-colored wine smells of saffron, bay leaf and white peach. The palate diverges into a multi-dimensional array of flavors, including white currant, Canary melon, white peppercorn and aloe. The masses of bubbles are big, bold and popping, giving this light-bodied and refreshing wine good grip for enjoying at the table. While showing lovely intensity, its medium fruit concentration and fairly modest finish suggest this bottling is best enjoyed soon drink now–2019.
