Penfolds Thienot Champagne Brut Cuvee NV 750ml

A bonanza of flavours – instantly reminding of a just-baked Tarte au Citron meringuée – that ideally aord so many palate descriptors that often remain elusive. Not here. And yet subtle derivatives of raspberry pastille, nougat and vanillin bean pod still manage to cautiously circle. Lively. Assorted sherberts coupled with tingling acidity enhance and define. An array of citrus exemplars prance across the palate – clean and pure, without any bitterness from zest. Gentle, ethereal, no rough edges. Complete, assured.
