2009 Coates & Seely La Perfide Rose

Post by Alex Bridgeman »

Drunk at dinner at the George Hotel in Stamford. Opened and consumed were bottles of Coates & Seeley La Perfide 2009 Rosé, Chateau Lafite 1996, Quinta do Noval 1931 (bottled by David Sandeman of Glasgow) and Quinta do Noval Nacional 1931 (bottled by Fearon Block). A bottle of Fonseca 1963 from the cellars of Althorp House was opened for post dinner drinking.

Coates & Seely La Perfide 2009 rosé: salmon pink colour, 10% opaque. Wonderful aroma, sweet rose perfume, sweet strawberry. Lovely. Soft mousse on the palate, lovely acidity allowing the strawberry fruit to shine. Fruit dominated aftertaste; long, long finish. Superb. 95/100. Drunk 03-Feb-22. Pop 'n' pour.
Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.

2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.
