    Château Pesquié Quintessence (Rosé) 2024 - Highly RecommendedTasted by Elizabeth Gabay MW & Ben Bernheim

    Golden salmon pink, pale coral. Restrained floral, pretty herbal, almost leafy garrigue on the nose with dried apricot aromas; wild fennel with a pretty pungency, almost pepperiness adding real depth. Slightly reductive freshness giving a crunchy white lemon acidity with a saline herbal twist. Ripe apricot and peach fruit peeping round the taut mineral structure. Vibrant acidity, powerful and silky. Very, very fresh and linear, despite the silkiness and depth. Very elegant with some finesse with fuller ripe weight. Refreshing and very gently phenolic on the finish, which adds real structure and complexity. Tasting quite closed today, I expect this will soften and open out nicely in a few years.
