L'avis des experts

The Wine Advocate:

"I had two very different vintages of the flagship III Lustros to taste. The 2009 Gran Reserva Brut Nature III Lustros is the one from a warmer year with an early harvest. It's a wine where the fruit is combined with aromas developed during the long aging in bottle with lees. The grapes were picked the first week of August, but the fast ripening generated sugar faster than it burned malic acid, so the wines retained good freshness. It's a blend of Xarello with 25% Macabeo with no dosage. It was disgorged after 77 months in bottle with lees and has a cork stopper. Just poured into the glass, it felt closed and serious, with a sharp palate with austerity and precision and very good balance, surprisingly fresh. 30,000 bottles produced."
