Philipponnat, Cuvee 1522 Rose other_regions_australia pure and restrained nose speaks

pure and restrained nose speaks of red currant

plenty of black fruit laced with tar and black pepper

From Barossa Valley

with a good lashing of sweet vanillin oak

dark cherry and an array of floral elements

Philipponnat, Cuvee 1522 Rose other_regions_australia pure and restrained nose speaksDisgorged in March 2019 with 4. 5 grams per liter dosage, the 2008 Extra Brut Ros Premier Cru 1522 may be the finest rendition of this cuve to date. Opening in the glass with aromas of red berries, fresh peach, rose petal and spices including cardamon and cinnamon, it's medium to full bodied, vinous and textural, with excellent concentration and a structured core, girdled by lively acids and concluding with a long and mineral finish.
