August 25, 2019 - A bit too fruity for me, interesting, ripe, fuller rose'. Tournament of Rosés from Eric of Epicurus.
May 19, 2017 - A couple of shades deeper than the Stripes and Stars tasted 7 months ago, this was also a lot more expressive than its sibling. Nose was faint compared to the SQN Whites and Reds on offer, almost no nose at first, then faint hints of flowers, berries, lamp oil. To taste, it was fresh and lively, well defined notes of red fruits, shortbread, cut strawberries. Long and well developed finish that capped these flavours with a satisfying tart 'bite'. 12C was too cold for this bottle, 15C found it in a much better spot. This is probably at peak now, and well worth drinking up, especially with game, meaty fishes like tuna and Asian food.
October 27, 2016 - Found this one in the cellar! Nice drink on a weeknight. The maturity makes it interesting, but the freshness of a few years ago might have made it a little... fresher...
May 25, 2016 - Actually reasonably good, but can't call it a rose wine as so much bigger. Robust aromas of dark cherries and berries with a slight dirty quality. Ripe and rich with some depth, although a bit primary in flavors. Shows some warmth on the finish, but over quite good. Seems like across between a central cost pinot and a grenache. Was fun to try, but quite unusual.
May 25, 2016 - Sine Qua Non Dinner (Formento's - Chicago IL): Red berries, nicely mature to start, less interesting with more air. Also less interesting as it got warmer. Tasty enough, i'd pop-and-pour and enjoy quickly at colder than cellar temp. Prob better 5 years ago.
July 16, 2015 - Beautiful color; floral nose with light fruit; peach and berry flavors with long finish for rose. My score might be inflated due to my surprise at how good it is, but for a summer evening with grilled chicken or fish, I consider it Outstanding.
May 8, 2015 - This is a Grenache Syrah blend. Dark ruby in colour, unusually deep for a rosé. On the nose, it has ripe berry, cranberry, orange peel with a bit herbal spiciness. Served slightly cold at 11-12. Unbelievably rich on the palate, medium to full body, very ripe, good concentration, long finish. At peak. One of the few rosé that can age and develop.

May 2, 2015 - Unusual color - burnt orange. Improved the longer it was in the glass. Preserved unwashed blueberry flavors. The closest comparison I could think would be Tavel. But this is much richer and more alcoholic than even a big Tavel Rose'.
July 7, 2013 - Incredibly rich for a rose and quite sweet. Surprisingly this needs 4-5 years of bottle age to reach the peak
September 23, 2012 - Much better than I expencted.
