class and impressively persistent finish

with a huge core of fruit that never seems over the top or heavy

This year’s Kesselstatt collection disappointed me slightly compared to last year’s

finely etched raspberry

Cyprien Arlaud Size:6x750ml class and impressively persistent finishThis is also quite aromatically floral with notes of exotic tea, red currant, plum and a hint of orange peel. I very much like the sophisticated texture of the mid palate that contrasts markedly with the slightly drying and lean finale. I would observe that this was carrying quite a bit of gas, which has the effect of accentuating dryness so its quite possible that the austerity of the finish will become less apparent once the wine is bottled.
