2010 Nyetimber, 1086 Rose, England 3x75cl

Robert Parker 91

Disgorged in June 2016 with eight grams per liter dosage, the 2010 1086 Vintage Rosé is showing well, unwinding in the glass with a youthfully reticent bouquet of dried flowers and delicate hints of red berries and gingerbread. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, tight-knit and chalky, with fine-boned phenolic structure, racy acids and a nicely defined finish. Like its white counterpart from the 2009 vintage, it’s impressively complete, but the 2010 Rosé is a bit more introverted and needs a bit of time in the cellar to blossom. [30/04/2020]

Slightly deeper in color than the pre-released 2013, the 2010 Nyetimber Rosé 1086 was bottled in April 2011 and disgorged in December 2018. It has an attractive bouquet of red cherry and rose petals, and a light fish scale note develops with time. The palate is well balanced with a crisp line of acidity, offering lemon zest, red cherry and a touch of rhubarb toward the finish. Very fine. [Neal Martin, 01/09/2021]
