It’s hard to believe the wine spent 18 months in new French oak barrels

The nose shows fresh cut white flowers with lemon

Grand Siecle par Laurent-Perrier Les Reserves No 20 NV 1.5L Marchesi di Barolo dark and brambly fruit mingleThis is a beautifully complex wine. Flinty, even smoky on the nose, with preserved lemon, quince, smoked almond, sea urchin, olive and white pepper, as well as some mushroom, pie crust and salted caramel. Energetic, yet with a dense and oily palate. Lots of power. Sleek bubbles. So many layers to ponder over, with a long, umami finish. Its Montrachet in nature and greatness. Love the roundness to the texture. Unique. 100 Pts James Suckling
