From a jeroboam. Cork fell into the bottle so clearly this has been badly stored. Smells oak, a bit of orange peel, Most of the fruit has gone now, replaced by an orange peel notes and then a quite pleasant persistent almond note. Quite fun to taste this but it should have been drunk by 2016.

I am a firm believer that rosé is not just a summer sipper—it should be consumed all year. Having said that, it was in the ’80’s here in Houston on February 1st and a I was in a rush to get the kids fed and off to a basketball game. Rosé sounded like the perfect antidote. Despite the obnoxious popularity of this wine, it is one of my favorites from the region. It is also proof that intentional rosés (grapes that are grown with the expressed intention that they be made into a rosé—i.e., not a saignée) do not have to be consumed immediately. Muted berry fruit, but fantastic tartness and a finish that lasts for minutes. Chapeau Sacha! thedrunkencyclist.com
