  • 2012 Drumsara Wines Ltd Pinot Rosé 90 Points

    New Zealand, South Island, Otago, Central Otago

    Light salmon pink, fresh on the nose, lots of tropical fruits, mineral, pink guava, passion fruits and touch of herbaceous, complex and interesting. Good palate weight and mineral driven, racy acidity lifted wild berries and herbs. Long lingering finish with hints of sweetness. This is very pleasant and a surprise find for tonight's tasting. My favourite wine of the night.

  • 2012 Château Miraval Côtes de Provence Rosé 88 Points

    France, Provence, Côtes de Provence

    Light salmon pink, subtle nose, light red fruits and floral notes. Crisp on the palate, very elegant but light bodied, exhibits citrus, pear and a touch of mineral. The aftertaste is nice and long. Not bad but definitely not worth the price and does not stand out from tonight's blind Rosé tasting.

    Dark salmon pink, fresh fruity nose, very mineral, along with strawberry and rose petal. Tart and tangy acidity with spicy red fruits. Good mineral aftertaste. Pretty nice and good QPR.

Flight 2 - Kaiken Red (1 Note)

  • 2007 Kaiken Cabernet Sauvignon Ultra 87 Points

    Argentina, Mendoza

    Opened for bottle breath about 2 hours.
    Opaque and inky black, the initial nose is pungent and alcohol driven but it gradually evolves to show ripe fruits, nutty, black fruits, plum and touch of floral notes. Still tight on palate, but mouth-feel is rich and intense, good structure, medium+ finish. Somehow not showing well tonigh.
