So rich on the nose that I couldn’t stop inhaling it – eyes closed, my whole body drinking in the aroma. I almost forgot to taste it! Lemon crème anglaise, frangipani, fresh-out-the-oven challah bread. Heady florals, like an orchard of plum blossom and hedgerow clouds of blackthorn blossom. Lemongrass. Lemon verbena. The acidity is breathtaking. It’s a sherbet-shot needle through marble bones. Hazelnuts mandolined over chicory leaves. A drop of walnut oil. I know that Corinne Seely has always said she doesn’t want to make champagne-like wine, she doesn’t want to make a copy. But when I tasted this blind, I scrawled in my notebook, ‘this tastes like champagne, a fine one, stunning’. There is such depth to this wine that it left my neck and spine tingling.
