13% abv. Recent auction purchase. Bottled in Rutherford? As others have noted, this has proper Provence Rose character in aroma and flavor. However, I found this to be rather heavy-bodied and ponderous. Was kind of a chore to drink more than a glass. I was kind of expecting something crisp, light and refreshing - this wasn't that. Drinks more like a serious red than a summer sipper rose; I don't think it succeeds very well in that role either. Just a weird rose experience. Not terrible - even somewhat enjoyable - just not what one expects.
In het glas helder zalmroze, medium intens. In de neus perzik, abrikoos en een voertuig rijpe meloen. In de mond medium zuren, body gemiddeld plus. Veel primair fruit, maar toch nog wulps en strak. Prima glas weer, wat voller dan voorgaande jaren maar nog steeds een glas vol plezier. Diner waardig. Yum.

Pale pink in color. Full, fragrant & aromatic nose of ripe fruit aromas of strawberries, cherries & some citrus notes with overtones of floral & minerals notes & a hint of spices. Light bodied with a good concentration of well balanced & smooth textured, crisp, ripe fruit flavors of strawberries, citrus & cranberries with some spices & minerals. Lingering dry finish. Drinks quite well at present. The wine is quite aromatic & enjoyable.

In het glas zalmroze zoals we nogal vaak zien uit de Provence. Helder. In de neus floraal, hint van perzik. In de mond medium plus zuren. Voldoende body en het fruit. De afdronk is evenwichtig waarbij de zuren mooi overeind blijven. Prima glas.

Ok, tasted more like a red wine than a rose and had too much acid in the finish.

Quintessential Provence rosé. Floral, dusty, mineral, herbaceous, hints of nectar, but with an oh-so-dry finish.

Some citrus zest on the nose and then some salty minerality on the nose. Clean and rounded on the palate. Still going fairly strong.
