Estimate
Fragrant, with notes of chalk and spring blossom on the nose, this fresh and focused version offers a finely detailed, lacy palate of white raspberry, peach skin, toast and candied ginger flavors. Long and creamy on the spice- and smoke-laced finish.
Honey and roses with fresh almonds and an array of dried berries, amid deep, rich, toasted-nut, autolysis character...bold array of rich, concentrated berry flavors in a fresh core, surrounded by a warming wrap of grilled hazelnuts. Roasted coffee to close. Terrific complexity.
...bouquet of dried orange peel, walnuts, confit lemon and crisp orchard fruit...medium to full-bodied, chalky and structured, with bright acids and a more overtly phenolic chassis...long, delicately nutty finish.
...palate it reveals itself in the sort of toastiness for which this producer is famed.
Coffee lees expression over dark cherry, some flint and dried-herb savouriness... Firm, chalky texture with red and black cherry, some orange-citrus and plenty of nutty lees. Fine, brooding and dense... Very fine rosé.
...notes of raspberry, cherry, strawberry, yeast and a hint of quinine...equal sense of restraint to the almost delicate middle weight flavors that possess good energy...fine mousse that also suffuses the delicious, clean, dry and crisp finale.
