Amazing Australian sparkling- Part 2.

[Attila]

2006 CLOVER HILL Blanc De Blancs “Cuvée Exceptionelle”-Tasmania

This BDB is a step up from the also fine, softly ripe and complex 2006 vintage blend (93 pts).

This of course, is 100% Chardonnay. Very clean nose with vigorous bubbles. Simply amazing palate, of exemplary precision, purity and drive. Mineral and very intense flavours. Made from first class fruit, this sparkling is, serious, grown up stuff.
It is actually tasting better than many NV Champagnes.
Perfectly balanced Tasmanian with a long fine finish.
Wow! 96 points.

Cheers Attila. I grabbed one of these for Christmas Day on your say so. Good wine. Wouldn't pick it as a BDB blind as it's quite rich in style considering the lack of pinot.
