Light gold in colour. Nine and a half years on lees has worked its magic on this wine, the aromas having moved past simple varietal notes into wonderfully complex territory – honey on buttered toast, roasted nuts, nougat, meringue, oh my goodness! Despite all this complexity the medium weight palate retains freshness and elegance, finishing with fine acids and great length. This is something special.

"Light, bright yellow with a persistent cordon of fine bubbles. The bouquet is appealingly toasty with some apple but without the greener notes of the original disgorgement, a touch of brioche and bread crust, iced pastries, lemon balm and a hint of honey as well. The palate is where this disgorgement really shines: it has a creaminess of texture and lovely seamless harmony, all the components well integrated, the palate flavours infinitely more complex and delicious, the balance contributing to outstanding drinkability. 96 points." - Huon Hooke, The Real Review

"A blend of 68/32% chardonnay/pinot noir in its fourth and final disgorgement with a total of seven years on lees. Alive with crunchy granny smith apple that moves to a slushy of white pomelo skin and golden pear. There is shortbread biscuit, almond meal and buttered toast with a persistent push of acidity that gathers momentum as it moves across the palate. This is astonishingly youthful and detailed. 95 points." - Shanteh Wale, Halliday
