Decent. Rather rough tanins with strong spice aromas and a rather ripe red fruit-forward palate. Decent wine for the price, but no real complexity or finesse to speak of. Will try again in a few years to see how things evolved.

Very structured and gamey for a rosé. Opened a bottle for apéritif and regretted it quite a bit. I guess I was in the mood for a more expressive and exhuberant, hedonistic wine. Still not a bad buy overall, but this needs fatty food to really shine.

Wine was way past its prime and rather undrinkable. We had before half a glass before we left the rest to the sink. Its a real shame!
