One of the best Rose wines out there, period (and yes, I've enjoyed them from everywhere including Tavel). This particular bottling was getting a little long in the tooth and lost some of the vibrancy it had when we first experienced it in March 2012 and again in Sep 2012. Still, it had real thrust and backbone that is sooooo lacking in soooo many Rose wines. This is probably my second-favorite Rose (first is SQN That Kind of Rosay). I just bought a bunch of the new 2012 vintage because they released it online for the first time. Let you know what I think when I get it.

Easily one of the most delicious rosé's out there. Full bodied, fresh, juicy and balanced. A big wine for a rosé.

Watermellon rind, complex, but probably would have enjoyed more last year when it was just bottled. Has heft to it, pair with food I think.

One of the best rosés I've ever had. Perfectly balanced and surprisingly complex.

Favorite rose along with L'Aventure's... Prior notes hold true
