Luis Gutiérrez, Robert Parker's critic for Spain writes:
"The 2013 Argent Rose Gran Reserva Brut Nature is a rosé made from Pinot Noir. It was a cool and rainy, somewhat challenging year with good freshness. The wine matured in the bottle for 46 months before being disgorged and given a dosage of 5.7 grams of sugar. It is very pale and has faint notes of red berries and dried rose petals, mixed with some aromas of yeast and freshly baked bread. It is sharp on the palate, without the integration and complexity I found in the 2012 white Argent. 9,500 bottles produced. This wine has become paler in recent years and it is felt that the precision of the new press they bought has improved it in recent vintages, especially this 2013 vintage."
