Community Tasting Notes 9

  June 3, 2018 - Somewhat alarming bright tawny peach. Best at cool red-wine temperature, savory red/orange stone and pommes fruit, slightly musky, even a bit of citrus on the finish. The grape is tibouren, which I have never seen offered elsewhere; while the red version is light, transparent, and delicious, it is relatively familiar compared to this rose, which seems noticeably wilder and somewhat rustic. All that said, an excellent match for our Moroccan-style chicken thighs. No indication of being too old at this time.

  November 28, 2017 - Past it’s prime but watered down Campari color and viscous texture still there. Best drunk 3-4 years after vintage.

  August 10, 2016 - Orangey pink. Interesting comparison with both the Cibonne Red and a Lanzarote drank over the last week. Compared to the other rose, fruitier and less savory, plenty of flavor but a lighter texture. Compared to the red, the flavor is less ripe and slightly bitter, and more freshening. Another grown-up rose, enjoyed with salmon burgers.

  November 4, 2014 - Peachy pink. Savory strawberry-pear nose. The palate is relatively full, underripe red and white fruit, savory, lots of mineral flavors and some herbs. The finish is full but clean, with a slight leafy tang. Really unusual but appealing, accompanied chicken burgers well.
