The E.J. Carr Late Disgorged 2006 spent an extraordinary 16 years on lees – ageing few producers anywhere attempt – before disgorgement in September 2024, with only 1,566 bottles released.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA blend of 66% Chardonnay and 34% Pinot Noir, drawn from across Tasmania's Derwent Valley, East Coast, Coal River and Tamar Valley, it carries the depth that extended lees ageing brings: lemon curd and marzipan, fresh brioche, truffle and caramelised walnut, layered over a low 1.7g\/L dosage that keeps the fruit vivid and pure. The palate is elegant, precise and remarkably long.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's landed 98 points from three of the country's most respected critics, with Nick Ryan going as far as calling it possibly the best Australian fizz ever released. For anyone collecting the top tier of Australian sparkling, this is as significant as it gets – and at 1,566 bottles, it won't stay available for long.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e98 points\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"If you can imagine a world where Dom Perignon and Lily Bollinger had a lovechild, that kid would be Ed Carr. There is no more significant figure in the elevation of Australian sparkling wine than Carr, and this limited release of 1566 bottles is appropriate recognition of his career...

The flavours unfurl with precision on the palate, constantly changing and dancing with each other in a perfectly choreographed dance. It's a stunning wine, with a graceful, fine travel across the palate and a finish that seems to stretch out infinitely.\"\u003cbr\u003e- Dave Brookes (Halliday Wine Companion)\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e98 points\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"The 2006 30th Anniversary EJ Carr Late Disgorged is more rambunctious and powerful than the Museum Release of the same vintage tasted alongside. The wine is texturally chalky and typically fine in shape and weight, yet the fruit has real drive and intensity...
