Perhaps not as deep or balanced as other les Fouques bottlings, but plenty bright, mineral, and fleshy. Gained some nice complexity after a night as well.

Popped and poured. Aromas of strawberry and lemon. Rich flavors of melon, mineral and a bit of citrus. Strawberry and some tingle in the finish. Surprisingly full bodied, with bold, delicious flavors and enough complexity to keep things interesting in the second (and third) glass.
Another in a long line of outstanding (and very reasonably priced) roses from Fouques.

Delicious rose. Fresh and clean aromatics that show bits of fruit, herbs, soil. Palate is ripe peachy fruit with snappy acidity and a finish that is more mineral and complex than it at first seems. Just lovely wine, as usual.

Nice salmon color. Somewhat fleshy textures yet firm mouthfeel. Firm decent acids. Not terribly complex. Refreshing. I would say 'pleasant.'

Mostly Loire Wines (Weygandt Wines - Washington, D.C.): Crisp and bright yet moderately creamy. Spice and mineral elements are quite complex, some floral and tea notes as well. Delicious, precise, great value.

Still very tasty and enjoyable if probably on the downhill slide.

Bright and lively, but I enjoy the complex mineral and spice elements, which show lots of nuance. Fun rose, but impressive with its spice and earth.
