  Feine Perlage, sehr weinig, reif und elegant. In der Nase zurückhaltend, am Gaumen harmonisch, gute Länge. Hervorragendes PLV. Jetzt optimal zu genießen.

  Much more tired now than 18 months ago. Loosing freshness and personality. However, still nice bottles. Drink up. Now.

  A late-release Spätburgunder Rosé. I have no idea how many years the wine has been aging on the lees and how many years post-disgorgement. However, if the lot number 15522/10-2017 tells us anything, this wine might be disgorged in October 2017, meaning that the wine has been kept on the lees for 12½ years. Probably. 12% alcohol.
  
  Pale reddish peach-orange color. Striking stinky cheese nose of Morbier (aka. smelly feet) along with a subtly sweet undercurrent of wizened peach. Not really inviting, to say the least. On the palate the wine is much more nuanced and attractive with dry, complex and quite evolved flavors of wizened golden apples, some Sultana raisins, a little bit of ripe peachy fruit, light funky notes of stinky cheese, a hint of honeyed richness and a touch of stony minerality. There's a subtle hint of developed sweetness to the flavors, even though the wine is Brut nature and bone-dry in taste. Great racy acidity. The finish is long and complex with dry, evolved flavors of bruised apple, some sultana tones, a little bit of ripe peach, light sweet notes of wizened raspberries, a mineral hint of chalky bitterness and a touch of caramel.
  
  A beautiful, lovely rosé bubbly with a staggering nose (not in a positive sense) and wonderfully complex, layered taste. The nose didn't seem to blow much or at all with air, so I guess it's just like this. However, as the wine is just wonderfully complex, textural and tasty, you just need to look past the stinky nose and go for the great taste. I'm taking a point or two because of the nose, but this is a fine fizzy all the same.

  Needs 15 minutes to breathe. Very complex taste with almonds, melon, licorice. Fairly long taste. A very positive surprice.
