Quite an intellectual wine. All about balance. Totally unique in flavour. Starting mostly with luxurious bitter notes - citrus/grapefruit/orange peel. The bitterness fades slightly but an alcoholic feel remains, like a cocktail spirit (Aperol, Campari). Definitely one of a kind, like no other Rose Champagne I have drunk before. Serious wine for food pairing that needs to be carefully curated. I could definitely see this with Crepes Suzettes.

22 Top Flight Champagne's for E&R's 20th Anniversary (E&R Wine Shop, Portland OR): Smells like sulfur and fireworks, and perhaps a bit poopy. Very strong aromas. Soft and bitter palate attack, with rich, tart fruit. Despite all that, the palate comes across as fairly elegant, soft and pretty. Bitter, strong attack on the finish, with elegant fruit and a lovely impression in its length. Nice and elegant.

BYO Blind Tasting: Blind. Rosé. A bit muted, but a hint of mature strawberries, big mousse, pronounced bitterness from the middle of the taste curve, long, intense. Seems very young. No idea what this was. Well not exactly what you drink often, with a production of only 370-500 bottles a year.

sinasera24的酒單,非常纖細平衡的香檳,需要大杯子讓它香氣展開,這次試了蔡司與SY杯後決定用SY勃根地杯。完全是花香主導的香氣,但是不張揚,淡雅清麗又綿綿不絕。我缺少形容的詞彙。
酒體很薄卻很細緻,溫度的控制要很剛好,不可以太冰。清淡跟纖細實在是一線之隔,但它很纖細卻肯定不清淡。
難以搭餐,食物的味道很容易破壞這酒精準的平衡。這平衡很像走在一條細細的鋼索上,在上面風景無限美好,卻隨時可能掉下去。
適合單喝。從來沒有喝過跟它一樣的ROSE,以後喝不到怎麼辦啊

Slightly leaner version of this wine, but still so expressive. Nothing else like this.
