Vintage: 1988 Format: 750ml Wine Name: Champagne Vineyard: Designation: Grand Siecle Cuvee Alexandra Appellation: Champagne Producer: Laurent-Perrier Varietal: Pinot Noir Type: Rose - Sparkling Country: France Region: Champagne Sub-Region: Alcohol: Tasting note: A much too bony prestige wine at much too high a price. The fruit is fine but slightly weak. Instead, the wine is dominated by sea scents such as seaweed, sea breezes, oyster shells, and fishy Pinot Noir. Fine, dry mineral tone. (85pts. Richard Juhlin) Tasted: Apr. 2001 Score: 85 Drink: N/A Tasting note: Quite interesting. A distinctive but austere rosé that features aromas of mushroom and mineral, mature flavors of brown sugar and cherry, but a dry, smooth texture that carries over on the lingering finish. Drink now. (88pts. Wine Spectator) Tasted: Apr. 30, 1988 Score: 88 Drink: Now
