4.2

Same as before - butter, salt, honey, a brilliant lemony core, that subtle bitterness that adds intrigue. Still long, layered, and disarmingly friendly. Though coming after the razor-edged Alta Langa, it felt slightly flat this time - less taut, more cushioned, as if the contrast had stolen some of its spark. The réserve perpétuelle is still doing beautiful work, but context is everything.

Beautiful. Moderately rich, with touches of butter, salt, and honey. Absolutely brilliant - the réserve perpétuelle is shining here. It's flavourful but not overwhelming, with bright acidity, a lovely lemony core, and a subtle bitterness that adds intrigue. Long, layered, complex - yet so damn friendly. A bit of toast, a bit of fruit, and a sense that it's finally come into its own. Previous release used to feel muted and tight, but this one is open and singing.
