James Suckling: 92 pts
Based on the 2018 vintage and disgorged in April 2021, the latest release of Orban's NV Extra-Brut is showing nicely, bursting with aromas of pear, white currants, fresh mint and yellow plums. Medium to full-bodied, fleshy and incisive, it's a pillowy, elegant wine, with fine concentration and a seamless, charming profile that reflects the inherent generosity of the dominant year. It's the finest rendition of this Pinot Meunier bottling that I've tasted to date.
