Gramona, Enoteca Brut Nature, 2011

Deep yet still vibrant rose-gold appearance. It fills the senses with an immediately complex bouquet of aromas, showing astonishing complexity, precision and finesse. Beeswax, pine resin, cedar, dried mango, candied citrus peel, crystallised ginger and butterscotch, with a savoury dried-herb richness. It is super-sumptuous, with a genuine impression of 'mousse' from the nearly microscopic bubbles. The hallmark of all Gramona's wines - that fabulous, mellow integration from cellaring under perfect conditions for many years - reaches its apogee in this unforgettable wine of height and depth, breadth and length. Prestige Champagne and aged Montrachet cower in its shadow!
