Candie Does Cassoulet (Candie's, Mpls): Ultra pale salmon color. Drank a glass over 45 minutes. Wow, this was on fire tonight. Intense nose with brisk citrus oil, tangerine, strong Mistral sea breezes, river rock on the nose. The palate offers the same intensity and depth as the nose; focused, fresh, great acid, orange oil, tangerine parfait, sun ripened Meyer lemon, flint and ocean minerality. This was quite blissful and not to be ignored. Not as flashy as Tempier, but really focused and riveting, and on the same level. 92+ to 93pts.

Rose's on the Deck: A Summer Party (Matt and Brenda's, Minneapolis, MN): Pale pink color. This was wonderful, classic and expressive of Provence rose. Glorious sea breezes, floral, wispy red berries and sleek stony minerality. Delicate and fresh, summer in a glass. All aboard. 91+ to 92pts.

Time to drink these. Darkening and developing in a way where I think it’ll lose some freshness and zip and acid the longer it sits. Go time. Already suffering a bit.

Right on the edge of top aged. But I enjoyed.

This, to me, is what great Rose tastes like: Provence in a glass. Simply delicious, with just enough complexity.
