| TASTING NOTE: As if on cue the 2012 Small Parcels sparkling (Brut) delves even deeper into the autolysis of Marlborough capability. The combination of chardonnay and pinot noir comes into a hyperbole state as compared to 2011, arid, dusty and striking with fierce arrows of acidity. The lemon-lime structure is vehement and aggressive, followed by more dry as the desert compression in the intensity of toasty flavour. Just like a zero dosage Champagne will do, this takes both breath and saliva away. Wait a year and the find something fatty and delicious to pair alongside. Drink 2018-2022. Score - 90 (Michael Godel, winealign.com, March 9, 2017) |
