"A coconut streak stands out immediately, then there’s a vertical wall of stone, citrus and licorice. I like the intensity and the definitive spices that layer this wine; it’s not shy or pedestrian. The style may or may not suit you, but it’s well worth exploring. It finishes up crisp, with a green, citrusy lift."

"Pale gold hue. Ripe pineapple and flint aromas with a subtle red fruit note. Interesting, mixed flavors of kiwi and lemon drop with a drying mineral nuance. A lingering, relatively sweet finish may be too ripe for the classic Brut aficionado."

"Creamy, with caramel tones in the flavor spectrum, along with apricot, grapefruit and a touch of mineral. The mousse is assertive, helped along by a chalky feel on the finish. Drink now. 16,000 cases imported."
