RARE SPARKLING ROSÉ Product of France |
Vintage Assessments Tasting Note |
Producer |
LUC BELAIRE |
Bright faintly reddish pink colour. Very spicy, faintly honeyed, plummy, strawberry nose. Off dry, medium-light bodied, spicy, honeyed, plummy, ripe apple-cassis-cherry flavours with a crisp, fairly effervescent finish. Overpriced and underwhelming. This REPEAT is an easy-to-drink carbonated 12.5% blend of 90% Syrah, 5% Cinsault and 5% Grenache with 24 g/L residual sugar. Last appeared in Vintages (*+) on May 27, 2017 at $39.95. Beware of tastings.com (aka The Beverage Testing Institute) reviews which are apparently paid-for by producers. |

TASTING NOTE: Brilliant pink garnet color. Bright, fruity aromas and flavors of berry coulis and mint cookie with a supple, vibrant, finely carbonated, fruity medium-to-full body and a tingling, complex, orange creme brulee, spiced watermelon, and minerals finish. A beautifully rich and fruity sparkler that is sure to please. Exceptional. Score - 92 (The Beverage Testing Institute, tastings.com, April 28, 2016) |
