of this stunning Riserva

(from 4 parcels near Dents de Chien that measure ~2 ha)

An airy and elegant nose offers up cool and smoky aromas of essence of pear and an assortment of citrus elements

dark cherry aromas spiked with earth and a whiff of leather

I had two vintages of the old-vine cuvée to taste side by side

Nyetimber, Tillington Single Vineyard Brut Zero of this stunning Riserva76% Pinot Noir, 24% Chardonnay grown in a single West Sussex vineyard. RS 9. 7 g l. Tasted blind. Quite deep gold. Putty nose, nicely integrated. Not too tart. Quite assertive. Some attractive evolution on this. Lots of nuance here. Not that long but a very good effort.
