But when we purchased this wine we bought a case of it in April 2021 and have been drinking it for that long. I'm not trying to start an argument but I was just shocked to see the word "sweet" associated with any ES wine. We had been wine club members for 14 years (until the French dude bought their winery) and know Elizabeth and Spencer personally. I do not recall Spencer ever making anything sweet--not even a dessert wine. I know my wife would have never drank it if she had detected any residual sugar. Unfortunately that was my last bottle of the 2020 or I would have sent one to you to try again. It is a really good rose. All the best, --Eric
