Description

ANDREAS LARSSON 95 points
"Light pink colour with some development, fine bubbles. Very vinous nose with a hint of oak, brioche, yeast, patisserie, red berries, stone fruits and candied citrus, very powerful palate, intense and lingering with a nicely creamy mousse, nutty and spicy notes, really long and lingering finish with a well balanced freshness all along. Sexy, powerful, complex and very good."

(disgorged May, 2012; L218732): Bright orange-pink. Potent, mineral-accented aromas of redcurrant and blood orange, with smoke, anise and floral accents and a hint of chalky minerals. Sappy red berry and candied citrus flavors show excellent vivacity and put on weight with air. Finishes plush and expansive, with bitter orange pith and ginger notes adding lift and bite. Showing impressive complexity now but this should be even better in a couple of years. [Josh Raynolds, 11/01/2012]
