Community Tasting Note

Charlie Pendejo Likes this wine:

Thursday, June 27, 2013 - Wow, the LdH rosé is more idiosyncratic than their whites. This bottle was strongly oxidative: dominant scents and flavors for me were orange and grapefruit peel & pith macerated in fino sherry, some raspberry, and maybe a bit of green olive. I didn't think it changed character all that much across three days and a broad range of temperatures. It's very much not a gulpable rosé; my wife didn't like it at all (without food). Brilliant with food, especially spicy Sichuan - I don't think any other wine could have been better with "diced fish with pickled chili and cucumbers (and of course copious ginger and garlic, but that goes without saying)" - but also red sauced pasta.
