Charles Heidsieck Brut Rosé Réserve – NV – 9.5 – James Meléndez / James the Wine Guy

 

A lyrical wine, gorgeous; bold, confident and highly nuanced; just hint of light rose coloration-simply beautiful. Expressive notes of wild strawberry, Oregon Tayberry, hint of fennel, flaky biscuit, and just roasted pine nuts.  Could have enjoyed alone but best shared.

¡Salud!
