    Llopart Microcosmos (Sparkling rosé) 2019 - RecommendedTasted by Elizabeth Gabay MW & Ben Bernheim

    Pale salmon. The long ageing has given fine toasty, leesy notes on the nose, opening up to waxy, herbal aromas. On the palate there is very ripe, soft red fruit with a dark fruit inner core giving a weighty almost red wine structure, and some tight austerity giving it a gastronomic edge. Crunchy green apples, long fresh acidity and a saline finish with a phenolic edge. This wine really started to shine after time in the glass giving a pithy, fresh, vibrant finish and giving Champagne a run for its money on elegance. If we had not finished the bottle, we can imagine this wine only getting better - so decanting would be a good option.
