  Brownish colour with a red core. Nose is dominated by sticky herbs and resin. Absinth wormwood, ground rosé pepper, Campari, sage and pine cones. Very light body, high acidity, no tannins and a severe lack of intensity, tastes diluted. Nah, no fun. Some extra points for the rather interesting and unique nose. Maybe a bad bottle.

  Hazy, pale intensity, tawny-ish color.
  
  Developing nose with medium(+) intensity. Earthy profile with bruised strawberry, dark cherry, bitter orange, grounded black pepper, baking spice, wormwood, fresh herbs and forest floor. Quite intriguing nose.
  
  Medium bodied with medium(+) acidity and hardly noticeable tannins. Juicy and fresh on the palate. Medium intensity with same earthy profile. Medium finish.
  
  Uncomplicated and juicy wine with kind of fun aroma profile. Not a rosé(?!) for everybody. Drink now.

  Orange färg, väldigt tunnt
  
  Det första som träffar näsan är curry, malört och kanel. Vissa glöggtoner, grabefrukt och en del kåda
  
  Hög syra, relativt platt i munnen. ingen vidare längd.
  
  Ett ganska trist vin med en märklig doft där första intrycket förstör mycket av helhetsbilden av vinet

  Very pale garnet rosé with light bricking. Ripe strawberries and sweet liquorice dominate the nose, assisted by herbs, meaty mineral and spice. Rich in flavour, quite dense and full-bodied for a rosé at 12,5% ABV, the acidity somewhat embedded at this stage. Just as expected from a TLZ wine, quality is outstanding, but the big issue here is the obvious malolactic fudge/caramel flavour (think German oaked Spätburgunder) which makes the taste slightly sweet and cloying. The Karmin 4 had none of this, and it isn't likely to go away with age either. A stylistic problem that finally makes us pass on buying more. First bummer from the otherwise brilliant Strohmeier.
