Tasting Notes and Scores
Unusually deep tomato-flesh pink. Pretty explosive! The intensity of this wine is like a shock that tears your heart in two. A jolt of electricity. At first, it's just the raw shock. The fractal acidity. A bullet. The taste of blood. Then it spins slowly on its axis, angular, piercing, stellated symmetry. Chiselled strawberry, glaciated redcurrant, iodine-stained rose petals, a whip-crack of sumac-sharp spice. The bubbles are bold, tight on the draw, loose-laced on the retreat. The finish is salty, defiant, howling at convention, and if that dosage wasn't written on the back label, I'd have told you this was Brut Zero. A wine that needs to be taken seriously, paired with serious food, interrogated. More than anything else, don't serve this refractory maverick too cold.
