| VERMUT ROSE Jerez |
| Vintage Assessments Tasting Note |
Producer |
LUSTAU |
| This remarkable Vermouth is a unique blend of Fino sherry with Moscatel plus a touch of Tintilla de Rota. It has a light salmon pink colour with an exciting symphony of spicy aromas - black cherries, cardamom, nutmeg, sandalwood, honey, chamomile and buttered warm brioche all wound up with floral rose petals. It is fairly sweet, medium bodied and spicy with honeyed, floral, strawberry-cherry fruit and warm buttery brioche flavours plus a touch of orange citrus and classic faintly bitter wormwood notes. Best served chilled, straight up in a flute to augment acidity or in traditional Vermouth-based mixed drinks. It has 15% alcohol and 146 g/L residual sugar with lot number L241121 on the lower glass bottle. |

| TASTING NOTE: [Though not the bottling tasted by Michael Vaughan, this release will reflect similar characteristics and quality.] Now retasted several times at different temperatures in various glasses. Here is a delicious, elegant, seductive Vermouth that must be tasted to be believed. It has a light salmon pink colour. The nose has a symphony of spicy aromas - black cardamom, nutmeg, sandalwood, honey, chamomile and buttered warm brioche all wound up with floral rose petals. It is fairly sweet, medium bodied and spicy with honeyed, floral, strawberry fruit and warm buttery brioche flavours plus a touch of orange citrus and classic fairly bitter wormwood notes. Not to be missed, this 15% alcohol blend of Fino sherry with Moscatel plus a touch of Tintilla de Rota has 146 g/L residual sugar with lot number L1323 on the lower part of the glass bottle. Best served chilled, straight up in a flute to augment acidity or in traditional Vermouth-based mixed drinks. A Best Buy. Score - 94 (Michael Vaughan, vintageassessments.com, April 30, 2022) |
