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.
