Fantastic rose' from KB! Fresh, good pinot fruit, but not too fruity, good concentration without being tooty fruity. In fact quite elegant and delish. Tournament of Rosés from Eric of Epicurus.

Again, very much alive and kicking... All my prior note still apply but it came with a little bit more tartness and the alcohol with this bottle was much more controlled. Wish I had more.

Very Good.... Quite surprised how much I'm enjoying this rosé that has a few extra years on it. Though a little muted, there is a bit of alcohol that overwhelms a classic pinot nose. There is a tiny amount of weight on the palate, but it pops with strawberry and watermelon rind in flavor. Controlled acidity and pleasant finish but the alcohol lingers.

4th annual Lobstah-phest this was served chilled. Beautiful color - the nose of slight strawberry fruit and alcohol esters. On the mouth minimal citric fruit left, and heavy clear alcohol heft. Decent but has lost most fruit up front. I recommend drinking up else turpentine will be the result. Day two+ under vac-u-vin: rubbing alcohol notes dominate, and this has fallen apart. Heavy handed, this juice should have been run through the de-alcohol treatment to knock the % down a couple. This is good for degreasing the engine at this point.

Light in body not flavor. Refreshing watermelon, strawberry rhubarb. Good acidity.
