Pale amber-gold in the glass. The joyous summer fruit of the wine when it was young has been streamlined into something much more refined, almost silken. An earlier reviewer of the aging version of Domaine Tempier Rose called it a thoughtful wine, and it truly is. I'm glad I saved several bottles to drink experimentally past its recommended prime. This is like no other rose I've ever had.

Ripe, well-integrated blackberry and raspberry fruit; soft tannins; licorice, black coffee, and earthy spice. A marvelous compliment to grilled fish and acorn squash, with couscous generously spiced with Ras El Hanout and fresh mint. The wine married harmoniously with the food, and made me glad that I hadn't opened the Viognier I'd originally thought of. How many more bottles do Inwish I had of this? Only 10 or 20. Well-priced for the quality, this would make a solid choice for House Wine.
