Smells quite sublime: super-deep, super-pure, with tangerine peel and baby pineapple*, held in creaminess like a set brûlée before the torch. So a slight wobble among the fruit intensity; so maybe more panna cotta. Gets crystallised peel and panettone dough with air. (This tasting note could be of a fine Franciacorta 😃). On the palate the fruit is delicate, compressed, dry coulis peach and sharp-juicy baby pineapple (again). And a super-fine mousse breaking on the tongue among Meyer pithy peel and melty pink saltiness. There’s gentle white stonefruit kernel and fuzz too, and subtle mouth-aroma wafts of shiny sour-dough brioche crustiness. A most fabulous bubbly. 95(96)/100 (e) – 10/10 (h)
