Not the best bottle I think. This clearly shows some oxidation with some heavy caramel notes. Still plenty of fruits but this lacks some freshness to me. Very vinous.

Fantastic rose. Good age, Med. pale salmon; elegant, tertiaries, good complexity and balance. Better than the brighter/cleaner 2008 IMHO. Tournament of Rosés

Great color and good fill level, with no signs of oxidation. Upon opening, all we could smell was reduction - fresh rubber balls galore. Gratefully, 10 minutes in a decanter and all of that blew off to reveal an elegant creamsicle of a rosé, creamy, oily, yet lithe, and with a pleasant bitterness on the finish. Cantaloupe, grapefruit, weak tea, and blood orange notes. A lot of fun to drink at this stage, though I would drink up!

Pretty incredible for a seven year old rosé. Bright, vibrant. Melon notes. Not at all oxidized, just more round and voluptuous than it was a few years ago.
