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

of this stunning Riserva

the use of French oak has become more measured and the Barolos are now among the elite wines of the region in virtually every vintage

earth and abundant floral influences

As is usually the case with Rugiens

Nyetimber, Tillington Single Vineyard Brut Zero I had two vintages of76% 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.
