Light tropical notes, pastry, spice and yellow orchard fruit notes give the Roises an intriguing exotic profile that comes through beautifully in the glass. This release, No. 25, spent 48 months on the lees. The richness and texture from the added time in the cellar works beautifully for this wine, which is naturally on the creamier side."(95pts VM) Provenance: The Cellar of a Swiss Entrepreneur: We are delighted to welcome back this successful Swiss entrepreneur and friend of the house with one hundred twenty-seven nearly pristine lots, much of it in original packaging.
