  There are many that think that rosés need to be consumed within minutes of release. I am not one of them. In fact, I believe firmly that well-made rosés can age, and age gracefully. This bears witness to my assertion. 3-4 years out and this is still a beautiful wine. Sure, it has likely lost a bit of exuberance, but it is perhaps more complex as a result: a pinkish orange (more Pacific than Atlantic salmon) with strawberry, melon, and a smidge of citrus, this is clearly a step up from the Angel, and oh so delicious. Yes, even several years out. thedrunkencyclist.com

  Lot's of fruit, a little sweet but an easy and delicious drinker. Not for those looking for something bone dry.

  My lone bottle and it was the starter wine for Xmas Eve dinner. It went quickly and was a smooth and beautiful Rose. Enjoyed it a great deal. Strawberry, raspberry, and vanilla notes highlight the palate. Recommend drinking soon if you have them but I don't think you need to hurry.

  Jeg forstår ikke rosé og slet ikke denne flasker som er #2 af 2.
  Kompleks i næsen, men munden fyldes af umålelig bitterhed som overskygger de små anelse af friske frugter. Vinen er ikke defekt - jeg bryder mig bare ikke om den.
  
  50+5+13+8+3 = 79

  Beautiful pale pink salmon.
  
  Nose of strawberries, raspberries, vanilla, cinnamon. Elegant and delicate.
  
  Light to medium body, soft and subtle fruit, more strawberries and some cream. Deft touch. Beutifully balanced with a crunch of acid, finishing dry but juicy!
