Ralph Kyte-Powell The Age - Epicure Uncorked.
Wine maker John Ellis conceived this Victorian sparkling wine with powerful Champagnes such as Krug in mind.
This pricey blend isn’t Krug, but it does have great richness and bready, smoky complexity.
The palate is full-bodied with champagne-like structure, depth of character and lingering flavour.
