With windows wide by my side, I would drink the 2012 Cristal Rosé till the end of this chapter. It is generous as an inexperienced but very enthusiastic person. Tarragon, raw dough, nuts, white flowers, tangerine, peach, raspberry, bergamot and cocoa powder. It takes time and patience to reveal all these features, and I reckon it could be even deeper if I had time to wait. It is complex and multilayered. The aftertaste is evolving and persistent, it creates images of incredible curves (mathematically speaking) in my mind. Young, delicious, inexperienced and charming.
