Karanika Extra Cuvée de Reserve 2015
(92)
(Red label, 100% Xinomavro, ungrafted, exclusively from organic vineyards at the Rasto area overseeing Lake Petron). Brut Nature Blanc de Noirs with 3 years on the lees, this was the wine selected by 11 Madison Park Restaurant in New York. World class nose, toasty and ripe but overall very well defined. Sensual. On the palate it is slightly phenolic and ripe but still superb. Marzipan complexity on the finish and a big applause to Laurens Hartmann for this exquisite sparkling wine,
