Pastry-shop nose. Yeasty palate, tightly wound, long lemon and sour-honey finish. VG.

Pink in the bottle but strawberry-blonde in the glass. Provençal rosé nose of berries and cream, perhaps layered on a scone (baked sweetness). Very dry and savoury on the palate (no berries, no sweetness) and fades rather quickly, although good energy and long finish.

Immediate oaky-chard nose, quite soft on the palate (although taut not at all flabby) with a touch of green alongside the vanilla. Good.

Clear signs of age in the glass, bricking. Very enticing red-fruit nose, really draws you in. Palate is much more savoury and almost sour/sharp alongside the cedar, spice, and vanilla tannins. A very pleasant discovery.
