Rosé

Tasted from magnum (with score for magnum only), this extra long-aged edition of Cristal Rosé from the expressive, fruit-forward 2002 vintage is an arresting love letter to Pinot Noir fragrance, still releasing fresh and fragrant cherry and raspberry fruit but melding into roasted peaches, apricot kernel and brown bread richness through an ultra-silky, caressing palate of both supple fruitiness and unexpected delicacy. At this age there's pure pleasure, and little wound-up tension, to be found in this most heady, satisfying Cristal Rosé that, while not quite possessing the daring chalky intensity of vintages that follow, strikes home with pure finesse.
