Tarlant, L'Aerienne Prestige Millesime Rose Vintage:2004 Aged in all new French

Aged in all new French barriques for 18 months

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

and in this powerful and ripe year

There’s a tangy iron accent on the finish

Tarlant, L'Aerienne Prestige Millesime Rose Vintage:2004 Aged in all new FrenchThis 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.
