Great floral notes with a deep fruit base. A great finish with wonderful acidity. This Rosé reminds me of the great Rosés from Provence. Wonderful with a sautéed piece of halibut. The acidity really helped to “show off” the fresh caught halibut. This reminded me of Unti’s 2019 but with a much more integrated acidity. I loved the 2019, but this is a classic.

Initially right out of the bottle deep fruit, great acidity, balanced and resolved tannins. A gorgeous wine, very seductive. After one hour the wine started to degrade. The dark berry fruit prevalent on the first glass was overwhelmed by the acidity. It was decent but not as exceptional as I hoped. Has anyone opened a bottle recently?
The next day I revisited the wine, and the wine was less acidic but no discernible fruit, so I am not changing my original tasting notes or score.

Wonderful coal tar nose, and an oily taste in the front of my palate. Very acidic and long finish, but I could not discern fruit except for green apple. Tannins seem resolved which concern me as I wonder how the structure will be based on waiting another 12-15 years. My 90 point rating is based on “betting on the come” in 12-15 years. This should be, I hope, for my daughter as in 12 years, if I make it that far, I’ll be 96.
