Floral notes, sour cherry, raspberries and strawberries on the nose with some crushed rocks, pepper and rosehips. Lightbodied palate with strict acidic core, drying tannic grip and tangy red fruit. Very structured and lean wine with crushed rock, pepper and gunpowder from the mid-palate on. Highly enjoyable stuff - though many will no doubt find this thin and harsh.

Floral at first, adds a spicy tone with some time. Cherries, crushed cerrystones and a Nice mineral tone. Soft tannins, nice acidity. Fine length on the finish. Northern italy with a thouch of Rhone.

A very floral nose with a deep sent of cherries, wild strawberries and tart raspberries. In the beginning also white pepper. Elegant in the mouth with minerals behind the fruit. Fine tannins.

Extraordinary bouquet of raspberry ripple syrup and rose (hence the name no doubt) at first (which makes you wonder how they achieved it - a natural characteristic of Ruche perhaps? first time I've tried the variety so hard to say).
After the nose, the wine itself is somewhat restrained and lacking in fruit but has structure and may develop with some age.
Wine with some real idiosyncratic character if you're looking for something to stand out from the crowd. Probably more a summer / picnic / terrace wine (at least that's what it seems to be drinking like now)

Very similar to my previous bottle - though maybe even more perfumy nose. Nailed it with cheese and cold cuts. An exceptional wine.
