2010 Nyetimber Classic Cuvee

Media Reviews

Neal Martin

The 2010 Classic Cuvee, disgorged in May 2015, has a crisp, focused, quite steely bouquet of fresh Granny Smith apples mixed with wet limestone and nettle notes; a touch of dandelion emerges with time. Certainly this has more complexity than the 2006 and 2007, which did not go through malolactic. The palate is taut and fresh on the entry with a fine bead of acidity, fresh and saline, with a touch of ginger toward the phenolic finish. This has a Blanc de Noirs character due to the higher percentage of Pinot Noir, though Brad Greatrix told me that it was apparently not as expressive that year. 90 points
