Written Notes

This was the second multi-vintage cuvée Laurent-Perrier had made of this great wine. The vintage blend in this bottle was 1959, 1961 and 1962. Golden amber colour, no bubbles. Pronounced dried fruit aromas with oxidative nutty notes together with butterscotch and almond aromas. Crisp and intense apricoty palate with creamy texture. No mousse but the wine has immense concentration with complex flavours topped with fruity flavours of dried apples and red currants. Very supple and superbly balanced. Long lingering finish with lemon tart nuances. Drinking wonderfully now!

TASTINGNOTE Provad på flaska. Blenden är '59 (20%), '61 (20%) och ’62 (60%). En gång ett riktigt stort vin som sett sina bästa dagar. Ändå vansinnigt gott och välbyggt. Tyvärr för mycket oxidation och Tokaji-likhet som överskuggar marmeladfrukten och kakaotonerna.
