“The 2006 Museum Release Blanc de Blancs spent 17 years en tirage. There are notes of crushed oyster shell, white mushroom and pressed linen, and this is structural and tight. It’s an astoundingly impressive wine. This is a sunshiny vintage that displays fruit and openness.”

“The 2006 30th Anniversary E.J. Carr Late Disgorged is more rambunctious and powerful than the 
Museum Release of the same vintage tasted alongside. The wine, despite its power, has focus, 
and the length is both persistent and lingering through the finish. A sensational wine that has a creamy mousse and chalky structure.“

“Tension and texture abound in the same glass, 
and the wine is persistent and chalky, with a creamy mid-palate of red fruit and some exotic spices. I love the way this wine performs in the mouth: it is tightly packed, fine and very long. It’s a sensational wine.”

“While this wine shows crushed oyster shell and attractive saline acidity, it will be most remembered—by me—for its persistence and balance. It’s a testament to Ed Carr’s long experience with this style in this region and the suitability of Tasmania to sparkling wine growing. This is superb.“

“This speaks of power and density, aromas of pressed incense appear on the nose, with white berries and crushed shell. There’s width and power through the finish, with layers of chalky phenolics that provide tension and shape.“
