Magnum. ‘This is our P2’, but they don’t have enough from the original disgorged to commercialise it. The original was disgorged in 2008. Deep gold straw. Smoky nose. Lots of lemon and creaminess. Layers and length. Quite rich. Seems sweeter than the 2007 and 2008. (JR)
Nicely coming along and lively with full confidence and masses of acidity. Slight note of veg. Starting to become just a little bit loose. (JR)
Magnum. Very bright fruit and almost lime juice flavours. Not bone dry but very good acid. Lively and not austere at all. (JR)
