Huon Hooke
(This is a different blend to the Brut Reserve and spends an extra year on lees) Fresh herbs, green apples, trace of honey, chard-ish aromas. Clean and fresh, bright and soft, balanced and the finish seems drier than the Brut Reserve. There's a pleasing crispness on the after-palate, enhanced by a subtle grip. Very good focus, finesse, line and length. Very refreshing finish. Points: 91/100
