01-2023 disgorgement. Dark pastel pink / light Pomegranate color. Intensely fruited predominantly with red sour plum and tart lingonberry. Fine and persistent bubbles. Initial impression was pure/simple, but the fruit just keeps accumulating in the mouth and ends up with enormous richness. 91-92.

Clear medium garnet color. Nose consists of cherry/strawberry/hawthorn, pungent pink grapefruit, hibiscus and dry soil/dust. In the mouth, very tart - zippy acidity, medium/light sandy tannins resolves fast and leaves moderately stem-my bitterness. The finish is high-pitched, floral and lingers long, though not intense. Overall, very Pinot-esque, comparable to a generic but good quality red burgundy (beaune in particular). 89-90.

Medium-light greenish straw color. Nose/palate are mostly characterized by lemon/orange liquor (or overdue grapefruit), underripe pineapple, peppermint, and intense firework smokiness. Bone-dry, high acidity, with citrus-peel bitterness in the middle and some burning alcohol highlighted at the finish due to dry saltiness. Worked well with grilled scallops. Agree with folks that it shouldn’t be served too cold. Needs right food paring to shine.
