Tasting notes
The NV Brut Rose Code Noir is one of the most unique roses readers will come across. A rich, deep color provides the first hint of what is to follow. This is an exuberant, powerful wine endowed with gorgeous depth in its rich, varietal fruit and vinous, full-bodied personality. All of the elements come together with unusual grace, leading to an enveloping finish that stains the palate with fruit. The Code Noir is not for the timid, but is a wine very well suited to all but the heartiest of foods. This is Lot C3J46E50, disgorged April 30, 2010. Importer: Old World Wines Inc., Destin, FL; tel.
