Tasting notes
Reviewed by: Antonio Galloni
The 2005 Rosé Millésimé is bright and effusive in the glass, with lovely aromatics that are immediately alluring. Orange zest, rose petal, spice, cedar and sweet dried cherry are all laced throughout. I would prefer to drink the 2005 over the next few years, as it is starting to show the first hints of maturity. Disgorged in 2017.
