More importantly, there's proper substance behind the rather sexy bottle. Obsidian is made using the traditional Cap Classique method, with extended lees ageing used to develop greater texture and complexity. \u003cspan class=\"contents\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Brut is the drier, fresher expression in the range, combining bright citrus and crisp orchard fruit with almond, brioche and a fine, persistent mousse. \u003cspan class=\"contents\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColour:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bright pale gold with a fine, persistent stream of bubbles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fresh citrus and crisp green apple are layered with toasted almond, brioche and subtle yeasty complexity from time spent on the lees. \u003cspan class=\"contents\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fresh and energetic with lemon zest, apple and citrus at the core.
