000-liter Rousseau foudre

Flavors of strawberry

The 2004 Cristal is 60% Pinot Noir and 40% Chardonnay

Lots of toasty oak on the back end but this is in balance with the fruit that drives the palate

2009 and 1996 vintages

Alvaro Palacios, Priorat Finca Dofi other_regions_australia 000-liter Rousseau foudreBright violet color. Suave, highly perfumed nose offers fresh raspberry, minerals, candied flowers and Asian spices. Sappy and minerally, offering intense, spice accented red fruit and floral pastille flavors with superb clarity. Wonderfully supple in texture, with outstanding finishing persistence and only a hint of sweet tannins. Josh Raynolds
