Medium bodied, very dry, refreshing, subtle red berries with peppery notes and some austerity. Beautiful tight style. Great with the artichoke soup at Aito.

As satisfying an experience as I've had with Bandol rose. Just excellent wine. Smells musty at first but blows off with 5-10 minutes, and reveals detailed aromas of ripe fruit - musky and spicy, complex and inviting, and all shot through with bright sunshine and a mineral note that shows more prominently on day 2. . Exuberant and joyous on the palate, and entirely focused too, with beautiful spicy fruit flavors, a metallic kind of minerality, and acidity that flows throughout the wine and lingers after swallowing. Serious, joyous, delicious rose.

Light clear orange. Nicely balanced with clean, open fruit and acidity. Crispness offset by roundness and some light fleshiness. May be even better in a year or two.

Is this the worlds greatest rose? I don't know but I enjoyed this bottle. Hope to try an aged bottle of this wine one day.
