Tarlant, L'Aerienne Prestige Millesime Rose Vintage:2004 There’s a tangy iron accent

There’s a tangy iron accent on the finish

delicate and subtle

It was harvested early but with full ripeness and higher acidity and more freshness

a few sites succumbed to fortunately noble rot

Super-fragrant with a floral lift from the Viognier component

Tarlant, L'Aerienne Prestige Millesime Rose Vintage:2004 There’s a tangy iron accentThis bottle of the 2004 Brut Nature Ros l'Arienne was disgorged in January 2019, and it was still a little tight after its recent disgorgement when I tasted it at the winery, unfurling in the glass with a shy bouquet of red berries, licorice, orange rind and warm bread. On the palate, it's medium to full bodied, chiseled and incisive, with a taut, tensile core and a chalky finish.
